Manchester United midfielder is reportedly set to be afforded more minutes by Ruben Amorim during the busy winter period.
Mount’s time at United since his big-money move from Chelsea in 2023 has been interrupted by injuries, which have kept him from nailing down a consistent run of performances and results.
This term, the England international has managed just seven appearances across the Premier League and the Europa League.
The United n.o 7 was on the pitch for just 10 minutes during Sunday’s 4-0 victory over Everton.
New head coach Ruben Amorim has spoken glowingly of Mount, recently describing him as a “proper footballer.”
Now, GIVEMESPORT relay, “Manchester United star Mason Mount is poised to have the opportunity to make himself one of the first names on the team sheet under head coach Ruben Amorim as he is on course to be handed more extensive game time during a busy festive period at Old Trafford.”
“Mount will have the chance to work his way into Amorim’s preferred starting line-up at Manchester United, according to GMS sources, as he is in line to secure an increased amount of game time in their next two Premier League fixtures against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.”
“GMS sources have been informed that Mount is on course to have the opportunity to ignite his Manchester United career as he will be able to take advantage of the congested fixture schedule in the build-up to 2025 and make his case to become a key figure under the new regime.”
It’s understood that Amorim is eager to have identified his preferred starting XI by the close of the year and Mount has the chance to provide he is capable of “being at the forefront of the long-term plans.”
Depending on Mount’s form and fitness, United will alter their January transfer plans.
If the 25-year-old delivers strong performances in the coming weeks, it could ease the club’s urgency to sign attacking midfielders.
United’s Wednesday clash against Arsenal kicks off at 20:15 BST.
