Speaking to Betfred, Louis Saha said: "I can understand why Mason Mount was Manchester United's priority midfield target considering his attacking output and productivity, which is something that we need in our game.
"They needed somebody that has similar attributes to Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen. However, Moises Caicedo's profile is really good and he can break the line in a similar way that Cesc Fabregas used to do.
"He's very clever in the centre of midfield and it's very important to have a player that has the capacity to recover balls. Moises can also bring the ball forward and he was very pivotal to the great football that Brighton played last season."
Mount's £60 million move to Man United was confirmed last week with the 24-year-old becoming the Red Devils' first signing of the summer transfer window.
Caicedo continues to be linked with a move to Old Trafford but Brighton are standing firm on their £100 valuation of the 21-year-old Ecuador midfielder.
