Ruben Amorim backs this European champion to shine for Manchester United

New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, has backed Mason Mount to do well at Manchester United.

Mount has struggled for form and fitness since leaving Chelsea for Manchester United.

Mount made his first start in 96 days in the Europa League game against Bodo/Glimt, and put in a fine display.

Mount was subbed off before the hour mark, and he got a bullish embrace from the manager when he was substituted, for a job well done.

“First thing is he is working really hard,” Amorim said of Mason Mount.

“And then you have to understand the human also.

“He wants this really badly. That is the most important thing. I think he has proven to all of you that he is a talented player. He was a European champion.”

Mount has missed 41 out of a possible 72 matches since his move to Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim has emphasised the importance of Mount staying fit, and has backed the Champions League winner to be a success at the club.

“So we believe a lot in him. He has to stay fit. And like all the guys in the team, they are quality players, they have to improve and believe in themselves,” Amorim said.
