New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has singled out Mason Mount as a player who will play a key role in his team moving forward.
Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag this week, takes over a United side currently sitting in 13th place in the Premier League. The 39-year-old arrives at Old Trafford after a successful spell at Sporting, where he won two Portuguese league titles and two cups, earning a reputation as one of Europe’s most promising young coaches.
Amorim is expected to implement the 3-4-3 formation that brought him success in Portugal, a system that could see Mount thrive. According to The Sun, Amorim plans to make the 25-year-old midfielder a central figure in his revamped United side. The Portuguese coach is said to admire Mount’s versatility, which will be a key asset in his tactical setup.
