Mason Mount says he is determined to make Manchester United fans proud
Mason Mount, the midfielder for Manchester United, expressed his commitment to making the supporters proud following his debut match for the club. The game, a friendly against Leeds United in Oslo, ended in a 2-0 victory for Manchester United.
Mount, who is also an international player for England, recently joined United from Chelsea for a reported fee of £55 million ($71.45 million) as per British media sources.
“When we turned up last night and when we turned up at the stadium today, the support has been amazing. They came out and showed up for us today and it’s amazing to see,” he told MUTV after playing the first 45 minutes of the match.
“This is what we want to play for and we want to make them proud.”
Manager Erik ten Hag commended the club’s initial signing of the summer, as the Dutch manager aims to bolster his team in preparation for United’s comeback in the Champions League.
“Oh (he was) great, but we could expect this. He has so many skills and I’m sure we will take so much joy from him. He will contribute to our performance, absolutely,” he said, adding that there was more to come from Mount on the pitch.
United will begin their Premier League season on August 14th with a home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
