Statman Dave says Manchester United have made their first signing of the 2023 summer transfer window, picking up Mason Mount from Chelsea in an initial £55m deal. An incredibly well rounded attacking midfielder, Mount is mobile & energetic with a great first touch and close control.

Mount also showcases impressive vision, a good weight of pass whilst the former Chelsea man is also very composed, tactically aware and a diligent defender. Mount is also very versatile and has the ability to be effective in a number of different positions. So today, SportsFila.com explains how Mason Mount will fit into Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United, taking a look at how his arrival will affect the Starting XI, Formation & Tactics…

According to the Topflight, this formation appears to be the most preferred formation for Erik ten Hag if he intends to field both Mount and Bruno Fernandes. Mount would serve as a direct replacement for Christian Eriksen in this setup, while Casemiro would continue as the lone sitting #6. This will be a high-risk high-reward formation for Manchester United as there will be no Eriksen to provide the defensive cover that he provided whenever Bruno Fernandes ventured outside of his position.

Mason Mount As An Eriksen replacement

Mount has, at times, played in a deeper role too. The midfielder’s work rate means he could be an option alongside Casemiro and Fernandes in midfield.

This could be as a number eight with Fernandes in a 4-3-3, or simply behind the stand-in United captain, ahead of Casemiro. Ten Hag has shown he is happy to trust a more attack-minded player alongside Casemiro as he showed with Eriksen. Mount is far more mobile than the Dane though and will be a better option to press opponents.

Here’s Why Ten Hag Signed Mason Mount

Mount likes to drift into the left half-space and arrive in the box late. This role would particularly suit against teams where United are expected to dominate the ball and can afford an extra attacking option.

Solid start for the midfield this summer and we all know that striker is a priority, but in terms of midfield, Ideally we could get rid of McFred and Donny (bare min 60 million for the 3 total) and sign Andre Trindade or Alan Varela as a Casemiro and Alex Scott as a Bruno/Mount rotation/understudy for a net profit and likey considerably reduce the wage bill.

Eriksen Ask Man Utd To Reinforce Attacking Department

Think the midfield would be in much better place right away in terms of depth as these players fit the type of players eth needs to play his brand of football better.

And these guys fit the age and potential profile that they should be rotation players, surely it would be better for squad moral with guys who aren’t expecting to start every game. Sounds like too much sense/work for Murtough and United though.

SportsFila is genuinely delighted with Mount because, a player the manager has wanted for a long time, so Erik ten hag knows his qualities and Mount leaving his boyhood club for United must have loved everything he heard from ETH. Onana and ETH know each other very well also.

Those two + a striker are priority. Then hopefully we can move on some deadwood and start adding in positions that aren’t life and death for the team.

I think he will improve the game, his got passion his got skill and good passing this is something Man United were known for players with good passing; he make good passes in games and i’m sure he will even get some goals but i think his going to really help the attackers get into those good postions with those passes and lead to something good for them.

Mason Greenwood Breaks Silence on His Man Utd Future

According to the Mirror, Mason Greenwood wants to stay at Manchester United and has held “positive” talks with club chiefs ahead of a huge decision.

The England international, 21, hasn’t played for United since January 2022 following allegations against him by his partner Harriet and remains unavailable for selection as club chiefs conduct an internal investigation. He was arrested and due to stand trial before all charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February.

Did Mason Greenwood have a baby?

SportsFila is aware Mason and his girlfriend recently became parents to a new baby, whose picture was shared on the couple’s instagram accounts.

His university student girlfriend Harriet Robson recently enjoyed a baby shower where she showed off her blossoming bump.

The Sun understands the £75,000-a-week footballer plans to marry her.

Greenwood has been undergoing one-on-one training sessions in a bid to be fit for the new Premier League season. United’s campaign starts at home to Wolves in just over two weeks’ time, with a decision on Greenwood’s future expected in the coming days.

Ten Hag addresses Mason Greenwood and Man Utd takeover situation

United’s hierarchy – not manager Erik ten Hag – will decide whether Greenwood will remain employed by the club. Yet Ten Hag will be forced to make a decision on how to manage the player if club chiefs decide he can stay. A loan move could be an option.

Adidas are United’s biggest sponsors after signing a ten-year, £750million deal in 2015. It is believed other sponsors are set to follow suit.

A final decision on Greenwood’s future is set to be made before the Prem season starts, with the Red Devils opening  against Wolves on August 14.

Is Mason Greenwood set to come back to Man utd Old TRAFFORD?

But Adidas’ intervention may seal a sensational comeback to Old Trafford after weeks of speculation that he could go out on loan.

Mason Greenwood training for the first time 

The striker has been suspended since January 2022 amid his arrest for attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.

According to Goal sources, if Greenwood is released, United will need to pay up the final two years of his contract. It’s also important to remember that he was one of the best young footballers in Europe before the allegations were made against him and could be signed by a rival club.

Yet, according to The Sun, Greenwood is confident of being retained by United. It’s claimed there has been “positive” talks between the two parties.

Manchester United kit manufacturer Adidas say they have not held discussions with the club regarding a return for Mason Greenwood, SportsFila understands.

Reports elsewhere on Friday evening claimed that the sportswear giant had approved a potential comeback for the 21-year-old, who still remains suspended by United.

Greenwood has always denied the allegations.

Manchester United agrees league-winning £72m signing deal with Atalanta for Denmark forward. Manchester United have reached an agreement with Serie A side Atalanta over the signing of striker Rasmus Hojlund; 20-year-old was left out of the squad that played Bournemouth in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.

Here is what Rasmus Hojlund bring to Manchester United

This guy is SURELY going to be a good fit. You can always tell a good Man U player by looking at their face. If they have one of those serious faces, you know he’s gunna be a Man U legend. You watch. He will score a lots goals, SportsFila.com could see Rasmus Hojlund near the top 5 at the pl golden boot race; he didnt score that much goals for atalanta last season but he will thrive under ETH.

Breaking News: United and Atalanta reaches Rasmus Hojlund Agreement

Analysis: Hojlund has huge potential

Rasmus Hojlund has captured the imagination after an encouraging season in Serie A and Manchester United are betting on the 20-year-old talent to be the next superstar striker in European football. But how can they get the best from the young Dane?

Man Utd tactics demand Hojlund makes penetrative runs in behind the opposition defence. “That needs a lot of sprints and a lot of quick decisions from our strikers, and I think those are big strengths of Rasmus,”  Christian Ilzer told Sky Sports as reported by SportsFila.

“I think it was key that our philosophy and style fit his skillset perfectly so he comes into a good environment. Ras is a great addition to our team with his abilities. It is his speed, his general physique and his willingness to work hard against the ball.”

There is a recognition that Højlund’s youth means he is not yet the complete forward but confidence within United’s hierarchy in Ten Hag’s ability to develop the player’s full potential. The manager is impressed with Højlund’s determination to work hard to improve.

United reach a compromise with Atalanta to sign Rasmus Hojlund

Although Højlund is regarded by United primarily as a No 9, Ten Hag would be expected to deploy him across the frontline on occasion, with Marcus Rashford able to operate at centre-forward.

Ten Hag has another No 9 in Anthony Martial but does not feel able to rely on him because the Frenchman is prone to injury. This has put Martial’s future in the balance, although Ten Hag remains impressed with what 27-year-old can offer when fit.

Ten Hag said United’s inability to take their chances in a 2-0 friendly loss to Real Madrid on Thursday “absolutely” emphasised their need for a new striker.

United had chances of their own but failed to score with any of their 14 attempts – an all too familiar tale given their problems taking opportunities last season.

Asked if the attacking display in Texas emphasised why they were looking to sign a new striker, Ten Hag said: “Absolutely.

“There were two things – the pressing can be better from the start and scoring goals.

“I think we need more players who are capable to be in the one-on-ones and we had the situations of one-on-ones.”

Manchester United reach agreement with Atalanta to sign Rasmus Hojlund, SportsFila confirms from a Fabrizio Romano update.

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Atalanta for the signing of forward Rasmus Hojlund in a deal worth €75million plus €10million in performance-related add-ons.

The Athletic reported earlier this month that United have agreed preliminary personal terms with the forward and he is set to sign a five-year deal with the option of a further year.

The Denmark international, 20, will cost United a package of around €70 million including add-ons. Hojlund had alreaqdy agreed a five-year deal with the Reds, despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

Breaking News: Time for Anthony Martial To Go

Great signing. Some player. Benny would tend him into world class. Hopefully Rashford replicates last season. Martial would step up his game this season. Defensive midfielder is needed to challenge Casemiro though.
In the realm of football’s grace, a star did rise,
A striker bold with fire in his eyes,
From Denmark’s land, a talent so grand,
Rasmus Højlund, his name forever will stand.’

Is Rasmus Højlund the closest striker clone to Haaland?

In the heart of Manchester, his dreams took flight,
A Red Devil soaring through day and night,
With boots that danced upon the hallowed turf,
He showed the world his skills and worth.

Graceful strides, he weaved through defenders,
With every touch, hearts he would render,
The ball a puppet to his magic feet,
In the face of goal, he’d never retreat.

A thunderous strike, a shot so true,
The net would bulge, the crowd would coo,
The Stretford End erupted with delight,
For Rasmus’ goals, a mesmerizing sight.

Yet, it wasn’t just his goals that stood out,
His spirit and passion left no doubt,
A leader on the pitch, a team’s beating heart,
He played with love, a work of art.

Through ups and downs, he fought the fight,
Through injuries and struggles, his spirit stayed bright,
The fans knew they had a warrior, a friend,
In Rasmus Højlund, on whom they could depend.

The legend of this Dane will forever grow,
In the annals of history, his name will flow,
A Man United hero, a striker suprem

I’m sure given time he’ll be a success at Man Utd but considering he has only played 1 season in topflight football and got outscored by Lookman in the same team is quite concerning, especially with the fee expected to be £55M+

Manchester United have purchased a phenomenal talent here, Atalanta should have held out for more than was paid for Anthony as Hojlund’s ceiling is FAR higher. He has EVERYTHING needed to become a MONSTER number 9.
