£55m Man Utd playmaker made just 8 passes despite 73% possession vs Spurs

The Red Devils are facing a lot of financial scrutiny due to their past poor spending in the transfer market. Mount is one of their struggling signings, who cost them an initial £55m to lure him away from rivals Chelsea.

United gave Mount the iconic number seven jersey, but the England international has persistently failed to justify that immense trust. The 26-year-old midfielder has made 25 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions this season, scoring only three goals.

Mount has struggled with persistent injuries and fitness issues since joining the Manchester giants, making him undependable for the club. According to Fotmob, Mount managed only 25 touches for United in his 71-minute performance against Tottenham in the final loss.

The 26-year-old had three touches in the opposition box, making only eight accurate passes from 11 attempts during the game. United dominated 73% of the possession during the game, making a total of 433 passes compared to Spurs’ 112 passes.

Yet Mount’s minuscule numbers highlight his inability to influence the game, particularly in the final third for the Red Devils. Mount won five out of seven duels while making one clearance and three recoveries, along with an aerial clearance.

The 26-year-old attempted two tackles and failed both times, accumulating a 6.3 Fotmob rating in another poor display in the United Jersey.
