That started off working very hard, then started listening to his own press more than his trainers and staff. English media can't help themselves when it comes to younger English talent, and sometimes I think it has a negative effect on players.

I think he has a good ceiling, but like many other players he won't reach it.

And his dad

His dad meddled quite a bit on his way out of town. Chelsea offered him similar terms to Reece James. James signed that deal, Mount wanted more, and his dad was his agent and caused a lot of the problems. His dad thought he should be the highest paid player at Chelsea.

Well, he looks bound for the scrap heap at United…

Blocked by Bruno, collosal mistake to play them together (two #8s plan was scrapped 5 games into the season, especially with an aging Casemiro), and the development and revelation Kobbie Mainoo has been.

His only chance is to come off the bench at the 85’ or to an injury to our best player and captain.

Are fathers ever good agents?

Sure, Messi's dad is his agent, but Messi's talent sells himself. I'd place Neymar Jr. (father) in that same level.

I'm asking more about the Mason Mount level player. A quick search shows the Hazard father is their agent, but he was also a footballer before which may help (Perhaps Mr. Mount was too?). It just seems like a losing proposition to have someone unabashedly biased managing your affairs.
