And upon being reunited with🍌 Mount at Chelsea, it’s clear that Lampard takes a strong vested interest in Mount’s progress.

But when the former England international heard that Mount was moving to Man United t🔯his summer, he did have his res🐓ervations.

Lampard was recently speaking on the ‘’ podcast and voiced his concerns oveಞr the move.

The f🦄ormer Everton manager had no doubt about Mount’s ability and determination, but he wasn’t sure how the fit would wo🌊rk.

Lampard analysed Erik ten Hag’s United midfield, and didn’𒈔t necessarily see💯 a role for Mount.

Speaking on the podcast, Lampard said: “A bitꦍ of injuries as well and a team that is 🍷struggling and a big negativity in certain ways.

“But from my point of view, I took him to Derby and he ch🐬anged everything for me there really, him, Tomori and Wilson.

“But Mason particᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚularly. His level in training was high. Pressing brilliant. Off the ball brilliant, if you want to give him in❀formation he takes it like that.

“He will jump and recoverꦚ, jump and recover. Great lad. Very good technically. He is really high level on loads of tho💯se areas and a proper lad. He is very driven.

“If you d𒅌rop him the face goes and not in a bad way, he will want to show you. He is very determin🌄ed.

“I’m not just saying it because he’s my lad and I have a relationship with hi🎀m on the pitch but I do think he will come good because of that and because of his talent.

“Once the team gets more structured, becau🌟se I do think its important to say you’re an aggressive eight or a 10 and the only worry I had with him when he went to Manchester United was where do Bruno Fernandes and him fit?

“I know you then you haꦜve Casemiro. I know it’s starting toꦅ develop already and change away from that as an idea.

“And this is not to dig Ma🐼son or Man United, but you have to go this is the plan, that’s what I would want to hear. My que🎶stion would be where does he fit?”

Something needs to change

Of course, a lot of Man United fans may agree with▨ Lampard🌟’s take on Mount’s time at the club thus far.

Mount’s progress has obviously been blighted by injuries, but also b﷽ecause of the reasons Lampard mentioned.

T✅en Hag’s side aren’t a haven for new signings right now – many players are struggling to ada⛄pt.

The likes of Rasmus Hojlund are slowly finding their feet, but no one is hitti🔜ng the ground running.

Andre Onana, a decorated goalkeeper in European football, seems to have lost all of his confidence at United�ﷺ�. 

It’s clear that something will need to change, and a January clear out may be the start.
