Mason Mount's performance for Manchester United in their second pre-season friendly against Lyon has been compiled, and fans have weighed in.
The 24-year-old became Erik ten Hag's first acquisition of the summer after joining United from hometown club Chelsea earlier this month in a reputed £55 million deal.
He made his debut against Leeds last week, playing 45 minutes in their 2-0 triumph, but he struggled to make an impact.
Mount was handed another 45-minute cameo versus Lyon, and a compilation of his performance has been released. Watch his individual highlights from Murrayfield in Edinburgh below.The England international showed off his broad range of passing, but he couldn't convert from close range and couldn't clear the wall with a free kick.
As a result, fans are split on the midfielder's play, with some labelling it a "stinker" and others applauding his defensive effort.
"Mount has dropped two stinkers." "I'm glad Chelsea sold him for 60 million," one fan remarked.

"There's no way I'm seeing multiple Mason Mount fail clips in back-to-back games." "This is hilarious," said another.
While another said, "I knew he was nasty. However, this is a separate level. Ten Hag with his pants down for £70 million."

Because of his versatility, the German manager would also like to have him on his team. The 28-year-old has the ability to play as a No.10, No.8, and No.6.
His arrival will not only add depth, but will also provide Klopp with a plethora of choices to work with. With Liverpool wanting him and Bayern Munich willing to sell, it will be intriguing to see if they can strike a deal for his services.Liverpool are interested in signing Leon Goretzka, according to Football Transfers. The Merseyside club is aiming to strengthen their midfield for next season and have their sights set on the 28-year-old.
Liverpool underperformed last season, finishing outside the top four. As a result, they will not participate in the Champions League next season. Their struggles were exacerbated by an ineffective and ageing midfield.
As a result, their manager, Jurgen Klopp, is eager to complete a center-of-the-field revamp. The Merseyside club decided not to re-sign James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Following the departure of the three, they were able to sign Alexis Mac.
