Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, and Christian Eriksen have been mainstays in the United line-up, but that combination has been disrupted by injuries and suspensions. Starting these three had some success during the season but they were also badly exposed many times.

Eriksen will likely be the casualty to make way for Mount, and the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder will have to make do with a place on the bench.
