While training in the US with the whole team to prepare for the annual summer tour here, Mason Mount was asked a lot about the upcoming challenges when Man United welcomed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, players in the same position. The English star said that he is very confident in demonstrating his abilities in the coming season.
"I always believe in my ability. I know what I can do and will work with the whole team in the coming time. The new players will help Man United raise their level. We need to reach that level together to serve the club.
What they have done in the Premier League, the number of goals scored, the number of assists, that is exactly what we need for this team. Man United are working together to improve that. Last season, the whole team did not have enough goals or assists in the context that we were completely capable of doing" - Mason Mount shared.
Last season, Mason Mount's biggest mark for Man United was a beautiful double against Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals. This is the basis for the former Chelsea star to be confident that if he plays to his full potential, he can completely play in the biggest arenas in Europe.
"At the end of the season before returning from injury, I felt really fine. Playing and scoring goals is the most important thing. I still want to continue. Every time I get on the pitch, I always want to show something, want to affect the game" - Mount shared.
Having suffered a persistent injury last season, Mason Mount often chose to stay silent in his absence, thereby determined to show himself on the pitch. Now, after making certain contributions at the end of last season, the 26-year-old star is revealing why the coaches he has worked with highly appreciate him, especially Ruben Amorim.
Injuries in his first two seasons at Man United have left Mount on a 19-game start, starting 28 of his return from the bench. However, the technical qualities he is showing are very commendable. Mason Mount feels completely healthy after returning to his best form.
When you encounter failures, it is important to overcome them and keep moving forward. Now, I have forgotten about the injuries. I feel Man United are in a really good position to enter next season" - Mason Mount shared.
After Man United's worst season in the Premier League era (ending in 15th place), Mount believes that the whole team must set a specific goal of returning to the European arena in the following season. That is the only thing that Man United is left behind at the moment, instead of dreaming of a Premier League title.
"Last season was not good, we knew that but we were ready to make amends. We clearly want to return to the European arena. I think that is a very important thing for Man United.
The Champions League will be a great tournament, Man United want to play in that tournament" - Mount shared.
