'It's odd': Mark Goldbridge questions Man United's 'obsession' with Mason Mount

Reflecting on the Mason Mount transfer saga, Mark Goldbridge wrote on Twitter earlier this week: "

's priority, according to Fabrizio Romano. It's all very weird from Man United.

"Listen, I don't mind signing Mount but the obsession for a player who can't even play the defensive role is odd."

Man United remain interesting in signing Mount this summer even though 

 have so far rejected all of the Red Devils' offers for the player.

There are other midfield targets at Old Trafford — such as

"It is very hard to drop him because even if he has a not so good game, you'll always get full energy and positivity and a wonderful approach.

the man is talking sense Mount is no more the an Average Player. And Chelsea have way over priced him. there is better midfielders out  there for less money. Ten Hag needs to walk away from this deal.

Best comment. Ten Hag likes attacking football so Mount makes alot of sense. Mount will be to Man utd what Gundogan was to Man city

Mount is not a top footballer… don’t be deceived.

D….D

You don’t need to be a top footballer to get top football experience (world cup, CL, EPL etc). No one can dispute the fact Mount have the potential and have experienced top football.

Mount couldn't lace Gundogans boots. what a fuckin insult you have just gave to Gundogan.

Mount is an Average Player and way overpriced at 50million. ffs. you people need to wake up.

yes your right he may have experienced it. but he's still an Average Player. ffs.

I’m not Mount fan but I’m aware we are not signing an Amateur even though he is not a top midfielder yet he can get there under Eric

Bruno weren’t world class when we sign him

ETH is known for attacking football not defensive. If we get Mount at €55m with his top football and CL experience he will be a massive addition. Guardiola use to play 4 3 3 with Debruyne and Bernardo in midfield who are shallow defensive players yet he runs things.

Don’t think Goldbridge goes to Watch United
