Former Manchester United man, Paul Parker, has labeled the club’s move for Mason Mount as one of the “worst signings” in the history of football.
According to Parker, Mount was not good enough at Chelsea and has been a disaster at Manchester United.
The former Premier League star told SpilXperten that United signing the England international from Chelsea was a great mistake.
Of a truth, Mount has not been fit for the majority of the time since leaving Stamford Bridge for Old Trafford.
Patker believes that it was Chelsea who made the most gain from selling the Englishman.
He said, “Mason Mount is one of the worst signings ever. Like, in the history of football. It is literally a catastrophe.
“He is a disaster and he was that in Chelsea as well, so I can’t get my head around why Man United decided to bring him in.
“I have always said that I don’t know what his best position is. I don’t know what he is good at, and even worse I don’t think he knows either.
“Of course, it is a shame for him that he is always injured, but… Is he really injured? I don’t know, but it seems like he very easily get in a shape where he can’t or doesn’t want to play football.
“I am sure he is a good lad. 100%, but he doesn’t have the level to play for Man United, and he is not the only one, I am well aware of that.
“He might not even be the biggest problem, but he is just not helping the team and that is regardless of whether he is playing or not. I hope the club and him can find a solution because that would be the best for everyone.
“Chelsea are ecstatic that they managed to get rid of him. They helped him financially, but more than that they got so many players who are not just one level but levels above him.”
Mount left Chelsea, his boyhood club, for Manchester United in 2023.
The midfielder has not played 49 matches for the Red Devils all due to injuries.
He has just one goal for the Red Devils in 32 matches. The goal came in Man United’s 1-1 draw with Brentford.
