Erik ten Hag has been told the three positions Mason Mount can play in for Manchester United

Manchester United's midfield conundrum was exposed in the FA Cup final.

With Bruno Fernandes shifted wide to accommodate a more resilient central pairing of Fred and Casemiro, Christian Eriksen played further forward and while the Dane has enjoyed a decent season he struggled to make a mark at Wembley. It's an area Erik ten Hag is working hard to strengthen and United have agreed terms with Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.

The England international might end up commanding a hefty transfer fee for a player in the final year of his contract, but the 24-year-old offers a quality and versatility United don't currently possess. He arrives with more than 250 senior appearances under his belt and 36 England caps.
