ERIK ten Hag has backed ‘class’ Mason Mount to be a key player for Manchester United in their bid to finish the season with silverware.
Mount, who joined United ahead of Liverpool last summer for £60million, is pushing to be involved in Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final between the two sides at Old Trafford.
The England midfielder has been blighted by injury since arriving at Old Trafford, with his latest calf problem sidelining him for four months.
But speaking ahead of the bitter clash against Liverpool, Ten Hag has not lost any belief in his marquee midfield signing to be hugely influential in the run-in.
