""I have to tell you, I love that kid." Ruben Amorim's first public observations on Mason Mount after his appointment as Manchester United head coach just over a year ago have stood the test of time. It has taken longer than hoped for United's fanbase to come to the same conclusion, but Mount's goal and overall performance at Wolves last week had them purring."
"It is fair to say the statement of intent Mount made after completing his 55m move from Chelsea is yet to be fulfilled. A Champions League and Club World Cup winner with Chelsea, Mount was an injury-time substitute for United's 2024 FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. He started the Europa League final defeat by Tottenham in May and was part of the United squad that finished 15th."

Mount signed a five-year contract with Manchester United in July 2023 after a 55m move from Chelsea. He has won the Champions League and Club World Cup with Chelsea but has yet to fully achieve his stated ambitions at United. Mount was an injury-time substitute in United's 2024 FA Cup final win and started the Europa League final defeat by Tottenham. He does not regret leaving Chelsea and embraced the challenge of restoring United's fortunes.
