Summary
- Mount's father publicly criticized Michael Owen's assessment of the player.
- The player has faced fitness struggles since joining Manchester United.
- Mount reportedly wants to stay at Old Trafford and fight for his position.
Mason Mount's father has publicly rebuked former player Michael Owen for his critique of the Manchester United midfielder. Owen had observed that Mount was not performing to expectations and appeared slow, impacting the team's midfield control. In response, Mount's father took to social media, stating that a lengthy period without starting games likely contributed to his son's rustiness.
Mount has experienced injury issues since his summer 2023 transfer from Chelsea. Under manager Michael Carrick, the midfield selection has often favored other players. However, with key absences, Mount recently started a match alongside Kobbie Mainoo but struggled to influence the game defensively or offensively, drawing Owen's commentary.
Despite these challenges and criticism, Mount has no intention of leaving Manchester United. He is reportedly committed to staying at Old Trafford and fighting for his place in the squad. His current contract with the club extends until 2028.
