Shocking statement about Mason Mount

Former footballer Paul Merson attracted attention when he advised coach Ruben Amorim to leave Mason Mount out of the match between MU and Brighton in round 9 of the Premier League on the evening of October 25.

Merson advised Amorim to cross out Mount's name.

Mount featured in the Red Devils' impressive win over Premier League champions Liverpool last week, but Merson believes Benjamin Sesko is the right choice when United host Fabian Hurzeler's side at Old Trafford.

Merson commented: "MU played very well against Liverpool and won their first win at Anfield in nearly a decade. They won 3 of their last 4 games, but the match against Brighton will be very difficult for Amorim. Brighton won easily at Old Trafford last season. If MU wins this match, it will be a great result."

The former Arsenal man added: "Amorim made a bold decision to leave Sesko out against Liverpool and it worked. But I doubt he will do it again, as Brighton can defend deep. Mount is Amorim's favourite, but I would be surprised if Sesko doesn't play. This game really suits a tall striker like Sesko."

Merson predicts a 1-1 result for the match, despite MU's excellent form against Liverpool. Last season, Brighton beat MU in both matches, thereby increasing the pressure on coach Amorim in this confrontation.

As for Sesko, MU spent 74 million pounds to recruit him from RB Leipzig. However, the 22-year-old striker has not left a strong mark in the Premier League. On the contrary, Mount has played well since the beginning of the season without being affected by injuries.

The former Chelsea star combined with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha to move continuously, change positions flexibly, and press high with speed and determination, making Liverpool suffocate.
