Secret INEOS meeting proves Keane's advice on one Man Utd star has been ignored

With Manchester United in the market for a defensive midfielder and the two other spots in their midfield nailed down by Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes, it's difficult to envisage Mason Mount being part of their strongest XI next season.With a CV boasting three league titles and an unlikely Champions League triumph, Tuchel reportedly opted to highlight his work with Mount during their time together at Stamford Bridge when pitching for the United job.

Mention of Mount as a factor in the mitigation for United's dismal 2023/24 campaign felt telling, and United chiefs evidently believe the midfielder can thrive at Old Trafford. One man who is unlikely to be convinced is Roy Keane. "I wouldn't be so sure about Mount," Keane told Sky Sports in May 2023. "They're going to be linked with lots of players but the one that would excite you is Kane.

"I wouldn't be hanging my hat too much on him in terms of improving United and closing the gap. He's a good player but would he improve Man United? I'm not so sure."
