Mason Mount: Man United star sets club lofty ambition
Manchester United’s Mason Mount has endured another frustrating season at Old Trafford.
Difficult United career
Mount signed for the club from Chelsea in the summer of 2023 for the princely sum of £55 million.
Despite approaching the end of his third season, his time in Manchester has been plagued by injury, and he has played just 69 times for the club. He was one of the few players in the squad who prospered under Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim, but has failed to start a game since Boxing Day owing to injury issues.
Ambitious goal
The England international spoke to the BBC ahead of United’s massive home match versus Liverpool on Sunday.
Speaking on his ambitions at Old Trafford, he claimed, “I’ve won the Champions League already, so I have a goal of winning the Premier League,” he said. “Can we do that? Yes, I think we can. It may seem a little bit far away, but you must have that mentality to really push yourself as a group.”
He claimed that the evidence for his optimism has been in the performances the side have managed against the biggest and best sides in the league, such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.
