Mason Mount’s Poor Performance Against Arsenal Raises Concerns

Mason Mount, Manchester United’s summer signing from Chelsea, had another underwhelming performance in their 2-0 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates. Since joining the club in 2023, Mount has struggled to make an impact, with injuries and inconsistent form holding him back. Despite new coach Ruben Amorim’s support, Mount has yet to shine in a United shirt, and this game only added to fans’ frustration.

A Quiet Night for Mount in a 2-0 Defeat

Mount started the match in a central role behind striker Rasmus Hojlund in Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation. However, his impact was minimal. He was rated 6.7 by Sofascore and was substituted after 58 minutes.

The stats highlight his lack of influence:

Expected Goals (xG): 0.03

Expected Assists (xA): 0.01

Touches: Just 15 in the first half, despite United having over 50% possession.

Passes Completed: 91%, but only 11 attempts during his time on the pitch.

Mount’s only shot went wide, offering no real threat to Arsenal’s defense. He also contributed no dribbles or crosses and struggled defensively, winning just one out of three ground duels and losing his only aerial challenge.

Fans Question Mount’s Role

After 30 appearances for Manchester United, fans are still unsure of what Mount brings to the team. His performance against Arsenal has only added to the skepticism. While Ruben Amorim has publicly praised Mount and hinted he will get more chances, patience among supporters is wearing thin.

A Bigger Problem for Manchester United?

Mount’s struggles are part of a larger issue for Manchester United, who continue to underperform in key matches. Players like Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes have also faced criticism, leaving coach Ruben Amorim with much to address.

Will Mount eventually prove his worth, or is his career at Old Trafford destined to fizzle out? Time will tell, but performances like this do little to silence the doubters.
