Three forgotten faces could get final chance as Manchester United prepare for pre-season debut

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

A year ago, it was Christian Eriksen who made his Manchester United debut in a pre-season match at the Ullevaal Stadion. This time, it could be the turn of another midfield addition to steal the show.

Mason Mount doesn't seem to have stopped smiling in his first week at the club, but he will be judged by what he does on the pitch rather than how positively he talks away from it.

Performances in pre-season certainly won't dictate the success of his signing, though these upcoming matches could well indicate how he'll be used next season and who he will be ahead in the pecking order.

Erik ten Hag has a pretty successful hit-rate with permanent additions since he took charge of the club and today we might get the first idea of just how good Mount could be.
