Returning to the Premier League, Manchester United has a home match against Luton Town.
With the away team having only had 1 win since the beginning of the season and possessing a series of quite poor performances, obviously, Man Utd is the team that is more appreciated.Contrary to the usual incompetence, Man Utd actually played very well against Luton right from the first minutes of the match, constantly putting pressure on the opponent’s goal and creating many scoring opportunities.
However, on a day when the attackers continued to perform poorly, Man Utd had to rely on a shining moment from Victor Lindelof to win at least.
Notably, Man Utd soon lost the services of a key player, Christian Eriksen, in the first half, when he was injured and did not continue to play. In Eriksen’s place was Mason Mount, who perhaps delivered a better-than-expected performance.
It can be said that the former Chelsea star had a comprehensive match with remarkable contributions on both the offensive and defensive fronts. Even though there were a few false passes, he made an effort to “correct” immediately and not give the opponent a chance to “punish” Man Utd.
Data from Statman Dave shows that the former Chelsea star had 33 touches of the ball against Luton, accurately completing 17/21 passes, including 9 accurate passes into the final third of the field and 1 key pass. scoring association.
Besides, Mount also impressed with 6/7 duels won, 4/4 accurate tackles and 6 ball recovery situations.
With a score of 7.3, the English midfielder is the name given the highest score by Fotmob among all the players coming off the bench of both teams.
Against Luton, it can be said that Mount really showed the image of a “machine” on the field, doing almost all the work of a midfielder. Obviously, Ten Hag should also consider giving this player a starting spot after the international break ends.
