Mason Mount is back to his best
Strategist Ruben Amorim brings a golden opportunity for Mason Mount, helping him regain his peak form and prove his worth at Old Trafford.
Under Ruben Amorim, every Manchester United player has been given a chance to start anew, with Mason Mount – a £55m signing who was once a great hope but has struggled with form – now facing the chance to salvage his career at Old Trafford.
Under Erik ten Hag, Mount failed to fulfil his potential. Injuries kept him out of the side for much of the season. Adding to the pressure was the fact that he was handed the iconic No. 7 shirt. Although he returned to the Europa League against PAOK under Ruud van Nistelrooy, his chances were limited.
Ruben Amorim – the new coach of MU – brings a new wind with modern football philosophy and 3-4-3 formation. This could be the key to help Mount unlock his potential. Amorim emphasizes flexibility in attack, creating conditions for Mount and Bruno Fernandes to play freely behind the striker. This formation not only helps Mount develop his pressing ability but also takes advantage of his creativity and intelligent movement.
Recent training sessions under Amorim have shown positive signs. Mount has been developing well with Tyrell Malacia, showing clear progress. This shows that Amorim not only trusts him but has also defined a specific role for Mount in the long-term strategy.
The upcoming match against Ipswich could be an important milestone in Mason Mount’s revival journey. The match-winning opponent will be an opportunity for him to regain his confidence and assert himself. With the support of Amorim, Mount will not only find a suitable position but also be able to escape the image of a “flop” to become a mainstay of MU in the coming period.
If he makes good use of this opportunity, Mason Mount can turn pressure into motivation, return to his proper level and become an important link to help MU improve their performance in the Premier League.
