“This play is definitely going to be a problem in the future when we play stronger teams. This play style is so sloppy and underwhelming. It’s a fact that Manchester United fans are not in support of his play style” – This is according to Pundit Sir Jim Ratcliffe as he has stated that Man Utd fans are not in favor of Erig Ten Hag style of play, calling it a clear fact.

After citing an injury, Mason Mount was replaced half-time during Manchester United’s loss against Brighton.

United lost 2-1 on the south coast; Brighton’s difference came from Joao Pedro’s 95th-minute header. And an injury issue for Mount, who was taken off after the break for Joshua Zirkzee, further compounded the unsatisfactory outcome.

After a £55million purchase from Chelsea because to injury, Mount made only 20 appearances in all competitions last season. Thanks to pre-season, the 25-year-old managed to start their campaign completely fit; nonetheless, Erik ten Hag delivered some unfortunate news in his post-match press conference.

Ten Hag stated, “It was pushed,” when asked why Mount withdrew. “He highlighted a problem, and I did not want to gamble on it. How much of a concern this time raises for me?

“But our bench is really nice. Do not hesitate; if you can bring Zirkzee, bring him off and you will bring a guy with effect. Josh had an outstanding game. Mount is a question for United’s next game against Liverpool at Old Trafford next Sunday; his knock is yet unknown.

Thanks to Danny Welbeck’s tap-in from Kaoru Mitoma’s cross, Brighton was 1-0 at half-time and may have pushed Ten Hag’s hand with substitutions nevertheless. After scoring the season-opener against Fulham last weekend, Zirkzee was called upon and United leveled in the second half.
