Mason Mount was recently acquired by Manchester United from Chelsea, enhancing their midfield options for the 2023–24 season.

The England international was acquired by the Red Devils from their Premier League rivals for around £55 million, and he joins as a proven performer who understands what it takes to be a great at the top level.

By the time he is 24, Mount will have made over 100 Premier League matches and won the Champions League, thus the offensive midfielder is qualified to have an immediate influence on the squad.

This also applied to the acquisition of Casemiro from Real Madrid in the previous summer. The Brazilian international was able to use his experience to make an immediate impact at Old Trafford after joining the team after collecting 18 awards, including five Champions League crowns.

Leon Goretzka, a midfielder for Bayern Munich who has been linked with a move to the team this summer, is another vastly experienced proven winner that Erik ten Hag might sign, repeating the miracle he pulled off with the acquisition of Casemiro.

Leon Goretzka has received how many awards?

The German international is an accomplished player at the highest level who has won 12 titles throughout his tenure in Bavaria, including one Champions League.

Along with 240 Bundesliga matches over the course of his career and 53 caps for his nation, the 28-year-old colossus has played 179 times for Bayern in all competitions.

The success Casemiro had in his debut season has already shown United supporters the value of adding a winning player.

The Brazilian enforcer finished second in the group, just behind Bruno Fernandes (7.53), with an average Sofascore rating of 7.21 during 28 Premier League games.

This demonstrates how the 31-year-old tank, who has experience playing under duress, was able to join the team and quickly establish himself as one of its finest players without the need for an adjustment period.

In three of the last four Bundesliga seasons for Bayern, Goretzka has averaged a Sofascore rating of 7.12 or better; this rating would have put him third on the United team last season, with Lisandro Martinez.

The German master, whom teammate Manuel Neuer dubbed “cold as ice,” has demonstrated over a number of years his ability to be a consistently good player while garnering several awards.

The £231k per week ace would bring a tremendous offensive threat from midfield in addition to his wealth of experience and winning attitude.

For non-penalty xG per 90 over the past 365 days, Goretzka ranks in the top 1% of players in his position in the Men’s Big Five Leagues and European competitions. He is also in the top 4% for assists per 90.

The tall dynamo may be a great addition for United because he is one of the best midfielders at the top level when it comes to getting into excellent goal-scoring situations and helping his teammates.

Therefore, by signing another central midfielder who is prepared to have an immediate impact at Old Trafford, Ten Hag might replicate his Casemiro masterpiece.
