Manchester United paid an initial £55million to sign Mount when he was heading into the final year of his Chelsea contract, so he could have been signed for free this summer.
He has played 673 minutes across all competitions, meaning he's cost £81,000 for each minute spent on the pitch, excluding his wages.
He hasn't been a value-for-money signing but there is still time for him to turn it around at Old Trafford.
The midfielder last started in the Premier League against Luton Town on November 11 and deserves the chance to feature from the first whistle against Crystal Palace on Monday.
Mount has been unfortunate with injuries in his first season in Manchester and spent four months on the sidelines with a calf injury.
He returned from that problem in the 4-3 win over Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and scored in his next appearance in the 1-1 draw against Brentford.
