It is safe to say that Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez, as adversaries in the heat of combat, haven’t always agreed on everything.
The intensity of Premier League football frequently leads to arguments and confrontations between these two fiercely competitive players at the pinnacle of the professional game.
Some supporters, however, might be blissfully unaware of the background that makes their Carrington embrace just a little bit sweeter as they battle for the same goal now—success under Erik ten Hag.
If you recall, our new addition Mason and Licha got into a furious argument after United’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season.Martinez deftly flicked the ball past the former Chelsea player after receiving it on the turn from him, and the two then engaged in a combative struggle for possession along the touchline.The Reds were eventually given a free-kick for Mount’s misconduct after a good several seconds of back and forth, with Licha pushing our newest addition away.However, Mason took exception to the situation and started to approach the United defender until Luke Shaw, an England teammate, stepped in to immediately stop any possible conflict.The arguments from the past, however, can only help Ten Hag’s team going ahead since the two are now expected to wear the same colors as one in 2023–2024.Both of them demonstrated precisely why fans are giddy with anticipation for the launch of our new campaign at that precise moment, their enthusiasm and drive for victory serving as the ideal recipe for success.Licha and Mason also appear to have quickly gotten past the incident, as evidenced by images that have surfaced from Carrington of the United pair grinning and laughing about the altercation.However, given that the two are now anticipated to wear the same colors as one in 2023–2024, the disagreements from the past can only benefit Ten Hag’s squad moving forward.They both exemplified the reason why fans are excited with anticipation for the start of our new campaign at that specific time; their zeal and will to succeed served as the perfect recipe for success.Images of the United pair smiling and smirking over the confrontation that has surfaced from Carrington show that Licha and Mason also seem to have swiftly moved past the incident.
