Mount’s display a big plus point for boss Amorim

RUBEN AMORIM praised Mason Mount’s intelligence on the pitch and said he was “really happy" with the midfielder after he scored his second goal for the club on his first start since December.

Mount has been eased back in since his latest injury absence, making eight appearances off the bench before starting in the defeat at Brentford.

He scored the goal that gave Manchester United the lead but was taken off just before the hour mark.

The £60million man has quickly emerged as a favourite under Amorim but his injuries have held him back since his move from Chelsea.

His goal yesterday was just his second in 42 games for the club - his first came at the same stadium last season - but Amorim believes he has the qualities to get into promising attacking positions.
