Erik ten Hag backs Mason Mount for new role at Manchester United


 New Manchester United signing Mason Mount is taking on a deeper role than he has played in the past under Erik ten Hag, but the Dutchman is backing him to make a success of it.

Mount went straight into the starting XI in the Red Devils’ Premier League opener against Wolves on Monday, a game which finished 1-0 to the home side at Old Trafford but saw them struggling to find their best form.

Mount was in a midfield three with Casemiro deepest and Bruno Fernandes ahead of him, but the central midfield role is deeper than Mount has regularly played previously for Chelsea or England.

Ten Hag thinks it will take time for the Englishman to adapt to the slightly different demands of the role, but has no doubt that the 24-year-old will manage it.

‘I think he can [play deeper],’ said Ten Hag. ‘Already, we have seen it in pre-season, but it’s what I’ve said, definitely we have to work on many facets of our game but also that facet about midfield and the co-operation, how we have to set it.

‘I’m sure we will get it [right], but it’s not coming overnight and [if] it was easier then everyone could do it.’

Ten Hag says that just last season there was evidence that it could be done as Christian Eriksen was signed over the summer and asked to play deeper than he was used to, behind Fernandes.

‘Christian Eriksen, last season, came in and had the same,’ said Ten Hag. ‘First time in his life he played in a deeper role and that was the ambition from Christian and then also the ambition from Mason.

‘And so he wants to be more multifunctional. That’s the way I see football, but as I say, it will not come overnight. There’s a process we have to go through, but he’s very game-intelligent.

‘He has the technical abilities, has also good vision on the ball. He knows how to deal with the ball. He has the dynamics, don’t forget that. He has the mentality. So, all the ingredients are there to do it

 Inter Miami, once struggling at the bottom of the Eastern Conference in MLS, has experienced a remarkable turnaround since Lionel Messi joined the team. With Messi's incredible skills and the support of his teammates, Miami has won every game since his arrival and has advanced to the final of the Leagues Cup. Prior to Messi joining, Miami had struggled to score goals, managing only 22 in 22 MLS matches. However, with Messi's influence, they have scored an impressive 21 goals in just six Leagues Cup matches. While the Leagues Cup is a different tournament, it provides an opportunity for Miami to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League. In the semi-final against Philadelphia Union, Miami displayed great efficiency, scoring four goals with just four shots on target.

 Dani Olmo rules out Manchester City transfer Dani Olmo has ruled out a move to ‘big club’ Manchester City, claiming he is perfectly happy at RB Leipzig and looking forward to the season ahead. Dani Olmo was supposed to make his long-awaited big move out of Germany and sign for one of Spani’s elite or the top-four Premier League side in the summer. Despite plenty of speculation linking the 25-year-old Bundesliga star to many top clubs, he chose to remain at RB Leipzig. A decision that indeed surprised many, Olmo decided to sign a new four-year contract to stay at RB Leipzig and remain committed to the cause as one of their top players. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City were all interested at some stage in the Spaniard, but he chose a different direction. Despite signing that new contract, fresh links with Manchester City emerged in the last few days amid the situation with Lucas Paqueta. Pep Guardiola sought a new attacking midfielder to bolster his ranks and replace the d...
