Current Man Utd star 'is worst signing in history of football' says Gary Pallister

Man Utd have been told that Mason Mount might be the “worst signing in the history of football” with the star branded a “disaster”, per a former star.

Having clocked up 195 appearances for the Blues across four seasons in south-west London, Mount has been struck down by one injury after another since moving to Manchester United.

Indeed, in his 20 months at Old Trafford so far, the 26-year-old has made just 33 appearances – and boasts just a meagre solitary goal to his name.

While a fully-fit and firing Mount looks an ideal player for new manager Ruben Amorim’s preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, his last appearance for the Red Devils came back on December 15 when they secured a 2-1 win at Manchester City.

Now, fuming former Red Devils defender Gary Pallister has turned the heat right up on Mount and branded the player the worst ever piece of business in the history of the game.

“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 Utd decided to bring him in,” Pallister told Danish news site SpilXperten.

In terms of incomings, Sporting CP starlet Geovany Quenda is ‘expected’ to join United this summer, with the Premier League side learning his price tag and amid claims in the Portuguese media that his transfer has now been ‘reserved’ by the Red Devils.

Amid claims Inter Milan are exploring a move for a rarely-seen Man Utd star, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed what he’s hearing.

There is expected to be plenty of change at Man Utd over the coming transfer windows and former Red Devils star Nicky Butt has called on Ruben Amorim to ditch five first-team stars.

Mount was devastated when confirming his latest injury, but has made a big promise to Manchester United fans, who are yet to see the best of him.

In a week when co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe named five transfers the club still owes money on and having indicated he regrets their signings – Mount for the record, was not one of them – question marks really do need asking if he will enjoy a long-term future at the club.

However, despite summer links with Inter Milan already emerging and amid claims United could look to move him on amid his troubling injury record, Fabrizio Romano explained last month why Amorim continues to count on the star.

“In recent days, we had reports about Inter being interested in Mason Mount,” said Romano on his YouTube channel. “Reports coming from Italy and also from the media in England.

“What I can tell you is Inter are going in a completely different direction.”

Pallister added: “I am sure he is a good lad. 100%, but he doesn’t have the level to play for Man Utd, 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.”

Meanwhile, one of the players brutally namechecked by Ratcliffe as one of five transfer mistakes made by United’s previous regime is reported to have reacted badly to the INEOS chief’s claims and is now pushing his agent to secure him a move away this summer. The star’s exit will be just another high-profile departure intended to aid Amorim’s rebuilding plans at Old Trafford.
