The 25-year-old midfielder may be experiencing homesickness, as Bacary Sagna has compared Mason Mount’s departure to Manchester United to his own professional move. When Mount severed an 18-year association with his childhood club Chelsea this summer to join United, it caused some to take notice.

On Monday night, Mount made his Premier League debut since October, thanks to Erik ten Hag. United were crushed 4-0 by Crystal Palace, and the Cobham graduate could not lead United to victory.

“Mason Mount was totally different at Chelsea he was one of the reasons why Chelsea won the Champions League,” said Sagna. Since Manchester United is a whole new location and club for him, he may be experiencing homesickness after leaving his familiar surroundings.
“He’s accustomed to a certain method of operation, familiar with the personnel and players at Chelsea. Starting again from scratch isn’t always a picnic. Despite his potential as a star player, he has clearly failed to settle in with the squad.
You will have a hard time performing if you aren’t in the correct place at the right moment. Is he content to be there in his mind? Manchester is so different from London; is he happy about it? I had to adjust to a comparable transition when I moved from London to Manchester.Everything changes for him now that he’s in Manchester; he had family in London and was settled there. Restoring self-assurance and rising to the top are the goals. Next season, he’ll be under even greater scrutiny. It’s been tough for him, but here’s hoping preseason goes well and maybe it’s the beginning of a new chapter.
Ten Hag reiterated his faith in Mount last month. In April, the Dutchman assured reporters that Chelsea had no intention of selling the midfielder, who had turned down multiple contract extensions.
“They probably didn’t want to sell him,” Ten Hag remarked. On multiple occasions, they extended new contract offers in an effort to retain him. However, he was eager to take the next step, and we are overjoyed that he has joined Manchester United. His talent is second to none. In my opinion, he will make an impact and develop into a key player for Manchester United.
