Mount is different now

Mount will have the chance to prove himself in the new season.

Mount was in action in the 2-2 draw with Everton in the Premier League Summer Series on the morning of August 4. He came off the bench in the second half, replacing Luke Shaw, and scored a stunning goal in the 69th minute.

Super product

On social media, Manchester United fans praised Mount, calling his goal “unbelievable”. One fan commented: “This is the Mason Mount I want to see in the Premier League, with that No.7 shirt”. Another predicted: “Mason Mount will prove all his doubters wrong next season”.

The Times commented that Mount had been completely forgotten at Manchester United, especially when the club recruited Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha this summer. However, the goal against Everton was a reminder from Mount that he was ready to return.

Mount’s journey at Manchester United has not been smooth sailing over the past few years. Since joining from Chelsea in 2023 for £60m, he has struggled with injuries, including muscle and ankle problems, limiting him to just 15 Premier League appearances in the 2024/25 season.

A Manchester United rebuilding team has never had the patience to wait for Mount to recover, and the signings of Mbeumo and Cunha have left Mason Mount's future at Old Trafford uncertain.

With the 2025/26 season only featuring the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup, Manchester United do not need too many personnel, and Mount, with his lackluster form, could become redundant in Amorim's plans.

However, coach Amorim, in many strategic discussions with his assistants and the board, still sees Mount as an important part of his plans at Old Trafford, according to The Athletic . Amorim rates Mount as having great potential and is an ideal card in his 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 system.

Mount joined Manchester United from Chelsea in the summer of 2023 for a fee of £55m, with great expectations. He showed his creativity and strong pressing ability at Stamford Bridge, impressing both Erik ten Hag and later Ruben Amorim. However, his first two seasons at Man United became a nightmare for the England star.

New Beginning

The 2025/26 season is about to begin, and Mount has shown positive signs of fitness and form. Now is the time for Mount to show why injury has only held back his true potential and send a message of determination with his form in the new season.

One of Mount’s biggest assets is Amorim’s trust. The former Sporting CP boss has repeatedly stressed that Mount is an integral part of his plans. “Mason has the technique, the speed and the creativity. He needs time to find himself,” Amorim once said.

However, Mount will need to overcome his past struggles, including injury and inconsistent form, to capitalise on this opportunity. Mount’s return is crucial for Amorim, as Manchester United need a modern attacking midfielder with the attributes needed to compete with their rivals.

Amorim has always been a fan of the former Chelsea man, given his versatility and ability to press high up the pitch. Mount’s biggest challenge has been his injury history. He has missed a lot of games since joining United, but the latter part of the 2024/25 season and this summer have shown him to be fit.

Furthermore, competition at Man United is fierce, with Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and even Cunha being the top options in midfield. The 2025/26 season may be Mount’s last chance to prove himself at Man United.

With a contract until 2028, he still has time, but the pressure to perform is huge. Only time will tell if he can re-establish his peak form, but with Amorim's faith and his own hard work, Mount could take this opportunity and reboot his career.
