United have the manager and players to start their own era mufc
Erik ten Hag was half-right when he said "an era can come to an end". Liverpool's ascent stumbled last season but Manchester City reached the peak.
United's kit colour clashed with the sun-kissed pitch at Brentford, who steamrollered them as though they were merely the turf. That shameful defeat reinforced United's focus and deals for Casemiro and Antony were bankrolled within the next three weeks. Their hand was forced but then strengthened. A United championship challenge possibly feels premature though the competition is not as daunting. Liverpool's retooling continues, Tottenham have been denuded of Harry Kane, Chelsea have got their act together with their coach but not their squad and Newcastle have not made a statement signing.
Mount needs to hit the ground running in a midfield Ten Hag wanted Frenkie de Jong to conduct. Jude Bellingham was beyond United's reach and they never entered the bidding for Declan Rice or Moises Caicedo. To many fans, all four are more appealing than Mount, chiefly targeted as he had entered the last year of his contract at Chelsea.
United possibly punched above their weight to finish third in the table last year but hardly overachieved after a record summer investment of £226.1m on four players. That has now risen to £405.4m on Ten Hag's watch.
