'It’s not Mount being just 24, English, a Champions League winner and Premier League-moulded that has impressed Ten Hag, but the loan spell he enjoyed at Vitesse Arnhem as an 18-year-old.'
Man Utd are putting all their eggs in Ten Hag’s Dutch picnic basket with Mount and OnanaMason Mount is the first English player signed by Manchester United from an English club for a fee sinceof 2019 when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer attempted to recreate the Class of 92 with a Welsh winger and a defensive-minded English right-back before panicking as July turned to August, eventually spending a world-record fee on a youngish British centre-half.
‘Mount scored his first senior goal against Ten Hag’s Utrecht in October 2017, coming off the bench with Vitesse trailing 1-0 to equalise with his first touch,’ Otherwise, Antony and Lisandro Martinez arrived from Ajax, Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and Christian Eriksen from Brentford after a spell training with his former club Ajax the winter before., who spent five years with Ten Hag at Ajax. It seems likely that all the talk of Jordan Pickford, of Diogo Costa, of David Raya, was only ever going to lead back to Inter Milan and the signing of a fourth former Ajax player.
That’s not to say that almost exclusively signing players with Dutch connections is A Bad Thing. Nobody would argue that Eriksen has not been a fine addition, while Martinez has transformed the Manchester United defence. Malacia is still raw and Antony a divisive character who is almost certainly not worth the exorbitant fee, but the balance has clearly tipped towards following the same policy this season.
