Three ways Mount could fit into Ten Hag's line-up as Man Utd confirm £60m deal

MANCHESTER UNITED could have three different options to deploy Mason Mount in their line-up next season.

The boyhood Blue has finally completed his move to Manchester in a deal worth £60million.

United have confirmed Mount will take the No7 shirt - famously worn by legends including George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Now fans of United - who are still linked with Harry Kane from Tottenham to lead their attack - are wondering where Mount will fit into their side.

As the attacker has shown in the past for both club and country, his versatility makes him an attractive option.

And that means that he will be able to fit into a number of positions.

Mount could easily slot into a midfield three which would be the envy of most other Premier League clubs alongside Brazilian Casemiro and Portugal star Bruno Fernandes.

That would certainly be a tantalising prospect for the Stretford End, especially if they can secure Kane’s signature and he lines up in front of them.

Mount has also played in the No.10 role just behind the main striker, which may lead to him providing the ammunition for the likes of Kane or Marcus Rashford.

Even if the Spurs ace fails to make the move this term, Mount could then be deployed further forward.

Rashford could perform the role as main striker, with Mount and Antony either side of him.

United have also “held talks” over signing forwards Rasmus Hojland and Randal Kolo Muani if they can't prise Kane away from Spurs.

And they are also in the market for a new goalkeeper with Dean Henderson facing an uncertain future and David de Gea out of contract.

The Red Devils have been linked with Portuguese keeper Diogo Costa and Andre Onana.
