Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has been urged to consider using Mason Mount in a different position after the midfielder impressed in a brief cameo in the 1-0 win over Fulham. The \u00a360million summer signing has largely struggled to produce his best form at Old Trafford since his big-money move from Chelsea and dropped to the bench at Craven Cottage. But Ten Hag’s decision to bring on Mount paid dividends late on after Bruno Fernandes’ late strike clinched three valuable points.<\/p>\n
It was hardly a vintage performance from the visitors and had it not been for Andre Onana’s two fine stops to deny Joao Palhinha and Harry Wilson, Ten Hag’s position might have been a bit more perilous at the final whistle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But his proactive changes late on could prove crucial in turning things around for United. Mount and Anthony Martial came off the bench for Antony and Rasmus Hojlund, and the 24-year-old was lively in the central areas and drifted out wide where he created chances too.<\/p>\n
His performance has led TNT Sport pundits Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole to urge Ten Hag to consider playing Mount on the wing while Marcus Rashford and Antony’s place in the team is uncertain.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s still there, sometimes it\u2019s difficult coming back from an injury which he had last season particularly when it\u2019s not all roses at the club and you\u2019re trying to settle in.<\/p>\n “If he could play Rashford on one side, and Mason perhaps on the other side, he could have a very exciting power, pace dynamic in his front three. We\u2019ve seen Mason can score goals, important goals.<\/p>\n “Settling into a club can be difficult, we have to remember that he was at Chelsea since he was six. To leave the club, to leave everything behind, it can be emotionally and mentally massive, it\u2019s a huge juggernaut of a club he\u2019s come to and you\u2019re not winning games, it\u2019s difficult.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-Erik-ten-Hag-5049686.jpg?r=1699118994094\")
