Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

M. Mount is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Manchester United, rated 64.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 236th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mount.

Judged on this season alone, Mount graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 3 goals, 0 assists and 3.006 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 65, 32nd of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 27 Mount is in his prime years, and a market index of 77.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Mount missed 5 games through injury (knock) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.7, Mount carries the 32nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
