Man Utd Fans Believe Mason Mount Can Save Club £80 Million

Published

on


Manchester United fans believe the club can save themselves £80 million this summer following their 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

United won the Snapdragon Cup at Strawberry Arena in Stockholm on Saturday night. Arnau Ortiz put the Spanish side 1-0 up in the 5th minute, but Michael Carrick’s men secured victory thanks to Bryan Mbeumo’s second-half brace.

United are still without their 2026 World Cup stars, which meant another game for 19-year-old Shea Lacey, who impressed. Summer signing Andrey Santos produced another positive performance in midfield, while promising JJ Gabriel (aged 15 years and 299 days) became the youngest player in Manchester United’s history to feature in the first team.

There was also praise for defender Leny Yoro. The 20-year-old has experienced a topsy-turvy first two seasons with the Red Devils but, at 20 years old, is still a player with enormous potential.

However, it’s the performance of another player who United supporters are really encouraged by.

Mason Mount has only managed to show flashes of his quality since completing his £55 million move from Chelsea in 2023. But the England international, who wears United’s most iconic shirt number (seven), showed exactly what he’s capable of with a magnificent midfield showing against Diego Simeone’s side.

A three-minute clip of Mount’s highlights against Atletico have gone viral on X (Twitter) – and the footage has sparked a huge response from fans. Watch the clip below:

A handful of fans made the same point: why spend £80 million on Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott when we already have Mount?

“Basically Alex Scott without having to spend £80m,” one fan wrote, while another said:

“Why would we splash £80m on Alex Scott when we have his exact archetype except this one is a proven world beater UCL winner instead?”

Another supporter commented: “£116 million Elliot Anderson doesn’t have these fundamentals on lock.”

While a fourth said: “This is the best he’s ever looked.”

A fifth fan commented: “This is a £100m midfielder,” while a sixth wrote: “Genuinely super performance. Can’t get my hopes up with Mount through injuries but we know in top form/fitness there is a hell of a player.”

And a seventh fan said: “He’s going to make me eat all my words this season, isn’t he?”

Mount’s looking extremely sharp ahead of the 2026-27 season and will be hoping to impress in United’s three remaining pre-season fixtures against Paris Saint-Germain (August 8), Leeds United (August 12) and AC Milan (August 15).

Carrick’s men begin their Premier League campaign with an away visit to newly-promoted Hull City on August 22 before taking on another promoted team, Ipswich Town, at Old Trafford eight days later.

Donald Trump has caused a major stir with his post on social media after winning a golf tournament at his own course.

Trump, a huge golf fan, competed at the Senior and Super Senior Men’s Club Championship at his Bedminster golf course in New Jersey this weekend.

The 80-year-old carded a two-under 70 to win the championship in both categories. It was his 43rd club championship title across his collection of golf courses.

As per Sky Sports, the US President won both titles previously in 2023, and recorded a sole Senior Championship victory in 2024.

Footage on social media emerged of Trump being given his trophy.

Taking to social media after his victory, Trump taunted his opponents and bragged about his ‘talent’. He wrote on Truth Social: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated.

“I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t!”

Alongside the caption, Trump included a video of his ‘winning shot’; an impressive chip onto the green which landed a few feet away from the cup.

Trump’s post has not gone down well on social media. One said: “The world’s biggest cheater, poor loser, & narcissist, is literally followed around by a film crew. Imagine worshipping a liar like this,” while another commented: “It appears that the US is run by a spoilt eight year old child.”

A third commented: “There’s no way in hell he shot 70, no way in hell… unless he cheated. Of course he cheated, it’s what he does, it’s all he f******’ does…”

Former Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture James Moore said: “In every way, he is the model of what I am teaching my son not to be: vile, small, cruel, ignorant, petty, corrupt. And he models it daily.”

While Mehdi Hasan, a British-American journalist with 2.2 million followers on X, wrote: “No previous president in history has ever spoken like this. If someone in your social circle spoke like this, you would distance yourself from them. Over 70 million people voted for this guy. I will never ever get over that.”

Trump has long been accused of cheating on the golf course. American sports writer Rick Reilly wrote in his book, titled Commander in Cheat:

“At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: Pele.”

Earlier this year, it was claimed that Trump had racked up a cost of $138,600,000 for US taxpayers from playing golf since returning to office.

Former WWE Superstar EC3 Worries Fans as Footage Goes Viral

Former WWE Superstar EC3 has sparked concern among wrestling fans as footage of his entrance at an indie event for ASW Canada has gone viral.

The four-time 24/7 champion was competing against Leon Lokombo for the ASW Heavyweight Championship. But the 43-year-old caught everyone’s attention before even reaching the ring, with his first few steps into the venue getting worried fans talking online.

Comments quickly flooded in as the TNA star didn’t look in the best condition of his career.

EC3 Sparks Concern With Wrestling Entrance

Introduced by the ring announcer as the ‘Top One Percent’, EC3 looked extremely uncomfortable when walking towards the squared circle. Along with his limp, the veteran appeared to have a pained expression across his face.

Some fans pointed out his bloated stomach and overall physique. EC3, however, appeared determined to remain in character. Still, the final part of his entrance saw him resume limping after briefly posing for the crowd.

He was recently absent from TNA television, and was questioned by writer Mike Johnson. To which he replied: “Michael, I was piledriven through both a table and spiked on an open chair. That was after Eric Young stomped on my d**k 17 times. Those are wounds that require some time and solitude to regroup and strategise.”

Fans have now expressed concern after seeing the clip, which has more than two million views on X. One claimed the ex-WWE star was trying to keep his struggles under wraps, saying:

“Trying to hide his hands shaking by going into his character pose is scary as hell. Hope someone close to him reaches out and gets him the help he needs.”

Another suggested pain in his back and glutes could be the source of his problems: “Is it me or is he not moving around very well? Stiffness and pain in the lower back and glutes.”

Others weren’t convinced he should’ve been out there in the first place, with one saying: “Does not look in condition to perform,” and another adding: “This is so hard to watch.”

“Dude’s 43 and moves like he’s 70,” was a less sympathetic fan view. Regardless of any theories surrounding the health of EC3, most fans were quick to wish him well.

Ipswich Town are closing in on a deal to sign Burnley midfielder Florentino Luis on a permanent move, GIVEMESPORT sources understand.

The Tractor Boys have had a major summer of change after manager Kieran McKenna stepped down following a third promotion in four seasons at the helm, helping the team back to the Premier League. Gary O’Neil was brought in as his replacement, and the club have so far made eight first-team signings, including deals for striker Emerson, forward Daizen Maeda, and goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen.

But the club are still keen to make more additions before the Premier League season starts in three weeks, and the club are now close to a new addition in midfield.

Luis, who has been described as ‘exceptional’, joined Burnley on loan with an obligation to buy from Benfica last summer, with the club agreeing to pay around £20m overall.

The Portuguese midfielder made 31 appearances in the Premier League as the club fell down to the Championship following a disappointing campaign, but he is now set to depart the club for a return to the top flight.

GIVEMESPORT sources understand that Ipswich are close to agreeing a deal to bring the combative midfielder to Portman Road for a fee in the region of £17m. Ipswich are now working on agreeing personal terms with the player, before a medical will be scheduled.

GIVEMESPORT understands that newly-promoted side Hull City have also been in advanced talks over a deal for the 26-year-old, but they are now out of the race and will pursue alternative targets.

Luis had previously made 183 appearances for Benfica before making the move to England, where he won two league titles.

Ipswich Strengthening for 26/27 Season

Ipswich have had a busy window so far, and the expectation is that they will be pushing to battle against relegation in better fashion than they did two seasons ago.

The club have spent around £85m so far to bring in eight players across a number of positions. Abdul Fatawu, Cedric Kipre, Chuba Akpom, and Issa Diop all have previous Premier League experience, while Emerson, Scherpen, and Maeda all have experience at the highest level.

The squad is stronger than last season, and there is expected to be more to come before the September 1st deadline, with Luis now looking likely to arrive.
