Mason Mount recognized the need to prove his reliability towards Manchester United and the followers of the club after 18 months of injury months in Old Trafford.
Mount from Chelsea in a deal worth up to 60 million GBP from 2023 made Mount only 38 games for United in all competitions and in two seasons that were devastated by various fitness problems, a goal and an assist contributed in two seasons.
Three injuries limited him to only 334 minutes of Premier League campaign in 2024/25, and Mount recognized that he has to stay healthy and add this balance before the campaign comes to an end.
“100%, I need consistency,” he told Club Media. “I am the first to say that I need a consistent playing time.
“From now on to the end of the season I would like to be available for every single game. And hopefully that will mean that we will play this [Europa League] Final. As a group, this is our goal. We know that we have to play in it and do the best of what we can do in the Premier League, and try to become as high as possible and win games, but to further improve.
“We can recognize small improvements in every single game. We had games that we lost, but the feeling that we did them, they checked them, it just didn’t really click. This has happened a few times. But that’s something we are working on and that we concentrate on.
“Everything else is slowly building up, but we just have to end this last pass, this last finish. So yes, it is definitely positive. For me to come back to the end of the season, it’s all I would like to wish for.”
Head coach Ruben Amorim has openly admitted that he worked with the mount, who produced some of the best work in his career as an attacking midfielder in a 3-4-2-1 setup in Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel and is intended for a similar role at United.
“It means a lot,” added Mount from Amorim’s support.
“He is the manager so that he can see my site and how eager I am to get in again and help the boys. Obviously you are here with every single game you are here to see the games at home and to be in and around him.
“It is definitely difficult, but for me I was very focused, I knew exactly what I had to do to return to the training, and then back to the squad, and that was my only goal. And I’ve been working for a while to get the best possible state in which I’m physically. Now I feel very good.”
