Mutt does *not* tell fetchmail where to deliver mail. Fetchmail
delivers mail to the system's <user> mailbox, which happens to be
/var/mail/<user>.

Have fetchmail hand the mail off to procmail and set DEFAULT in
procmail to /home/user/Mail/username.
from ~/.procmailrc
SHELL="/bin/bash"
SPOOL="/var/spool/mail"
MAILDIR="$HOME/mail"
DEFAULT="$SPOOL/pat"
you want
DEFAULT="/home/user/Mail/<username>"
If you pipe all mail thru procmail, what is not directed somewhere
else is delivered to $DEFAULT.
