Overview

• Mount has remained injury-free throughout pre-season, making substitute appearances against Leeds and West Ham.
• Manager Ruben Amorim has lauded his professionalism and intends to deploy him in a more advanced midfield role.
• He faces competition for that position from Bruno Fernandes and new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
• After finishing last season strongly with two Europa League semi-final goals, he aims to build on that momentum.
• A recent call from Thomas Tuchel has fuelled his ambition to force his way back into England’s World Cup squad.
