One prominent Manchester United star from the top English club may find no place after the managerial change from Ruben Amorim to Michael Carrick, suggesting a possible team transfer.
On 5 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Mason Mount, the English midfielder for the "Red Devils" Manchester United, a renowned Premier League club, may lose his place in the squad after the club replaced Portuguese head coach Ruben Amorim with interim English manager Michael Carrick, raising the prospect of a transfer for the player.
Previously, under Ruben Amorim's three-at-the-back system, Mount was heavily involved in midfield, acting as a dynamic force running the game from midfield to the penalty area. However, with Michael Carrick's return to a four-at-the-back formation, Bruno Fernandes was pushed further forward again, directly impacting Mount, who has been relegated to the bench due to overlapping positions.
In the last three games, Mason Mount has had only one appearance under Michael Carrick, and that was as a substitute during injury time in the 2-0 victory over Manchester City "The Citizens." This has cast doubt on the future of the former Chelsea "Blues" star, whose contract has two years remaining. There is a real chance the player, earning £250,000 per week, might be sold after this season.
