Manchester United supporters have labelled one player as the club’s worst-ever signing following his performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Fresh off a dramatic late win over Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday, United returned to Premier League duties on Sunday afternoon, hosting Wolves at Old Trafford.
The match turned out to be underwhelming, with Wolves breaking the deadlock in the 77th minute courtesy of a brilliant free-kick from Pablo Sarabia. ..Continue Reading
That strike was enough to seal a 1-0 victory for the visitors, who are now level on points with United in the league standings.
In the 59th minute, manager Ruben Amorim substituted Kobbie Mainoo for Mason Mount, hoping to inject some energy into the side.
Unfortunately, Mount failed to make a meaningful contribution and squandered a golden opportunity after receiving a pass from Alejandro Garnacho inside the box.
Despite being completely unmarked, Mount blasted his shot high over the bar, missing a clear chance to equalise.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: “Mason Mount got to be the worst player to ever play for Manchester United.”
Another tweeted: “I find it absolutely diabolical that Mason Mount is our no.7 he’s one of the worst signings in out history.”
A third fan added: “Worst signing in Manchester United’s history. Dropping stinkers since his arrival. Mason Mount.”
Someone else wrote: “How is Mason Mount still playing for United?”
A fifth commented: “Mason Mount isn’t it. No matter how many people gaslight me, this guy is average at best.”
Another Man United fan said: “I don’t see how we rely on Mason Mount ,he always comes in as a sub but he does nothing to change the match.”
In the summer of 2023, Mason Mount made the switch from his childhood club Chelsea to Manchester United in a transfer reportedly valued at £55 million.
Since arriving at Old Trafford, the 25-year-old has struggled to find his rhythm due to a series of injury setbacks, which have prevented him from reaching top form.
To date, Mount has scored just once in 38 appearances across all competitions for the Red Devils.
