Man United’s Midfield Dilemma…
Ruben Amorim has humorously hinted that Mason Mount might have to tap dance back to central midfield if Manchester United can’t conjure a new midfielder out of thin air. With United’s hopes of snagging Carlos Baleba from Brighton floating away like a balloon on a windy day, they find themselves with just a quartet of central midfielders. Toby Collyer is packing his bags for West Brom, Casemiro’s contract is shorter than a fruit fly’s lifespan, and the duo of Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte still have fewer starts together than the number of toes on one foot.
Amorim chuckled, suggesting Mason Mount could pirouette into the midfield role to spice things up a bit. He’s happy with his players and feels they’re ready to surprise the Premier League like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund is pondering a career switch, possibly joining AC Milan, especially now that Benjamin Sesko has joined Manchester United’s attack, leaving him more benched than a library book. With Joshua Zirkzee back in training, Hojlund’s inclusion against Arsenal is as uncertain as a cat’s decision to chase a laser pointer.
