Mason Mount Struggles at Manchester United: Sagna Offers Insight into Homesickness

Bacary Sagna has drawn comparisons between Mason Mount move to Manchester United and his own career transition, suggesting that the midfielder may be experiencing homesickness. Mount departure from Chelsea last summer after an 18 years association with the club, raised eyebrows. Despite limited Premier League appearances for United due to injury, Mount performances have yet to justify his hefty transfer fee.

Erik ten Hag recently handed Mount a start against Crystal Palace but the team suffered a 4-0 defeat. Reflecting on Mount struggles, Sagna believes that adapting to a new city and club may be challenging for him given his deep ties to Chelsea. Sagna draws from his own experience of moving from London to Manchester and needing time to adjust.

He emphasizes the importance of Mount rebuilding confidence and adapting to his new environment. Despite the difficulties, Erik ten Hag remains optimistic about Mount potential contribution to United.
