Mason Mount acknowledges his need for consistent game time as Manchester United approach the season’s end, with it all to play for in the UEFA Europa League.
The 26-year-old midfielder returned from injury at the start of April as a substitute in defeat at Nottingham Forest, and has appeared in every game since.
His tenacity, work rate and pre-existing understanding of Ruben Amorim’s system — having played in a similar set-up at Chelsea and with England — makes him a valuable option to have for these crucial weeks.
Mason’s personal goal, alongside the team’s drive to win the Europa League, is clear.
