Having played in a similar system during his time at Chelsea, it was widely acknowledged that Mason could be crucial to Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United side when our head coach joined back in November.

In that time, our no.7 was still a big part of the squad, offering advice to the many young players coming through and learning the intricacies of Ruben’s system alongside his team-mates.
