What happened. Manchester United signed three midfielders this summer – Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Carlos Baleba – for a combined £155m. Mason Mount, yet to play this season, acknowledges the increased competition.

Mount has struggled for minutes and form since his £55m move from Chelsea.
He was an unused substitute in United's 2-2 draw at Everton.
Baleba arrived with an injury and is yet to debut.

“the influx of three new midfielders at Manchester United has ramped up the competition, which is a "must-have" with standards raising as a result”
— Mason Mount

Mount could feature in Thursday's Champions League clash vs Sabah, but his role in the pecking order remains unclear.
