Ten Hag backs Mount to excel at Manchester United despite injury setback last season

Erik ten Hag has affirmed his confidence in Mason Mount’s potential to shine for Manchester United despite a challenging previous season marked by injuries.

“You can’t judge his season, because he was injured. Don’t judge him,” Ten Hag told The Athletic.

“But when he is fit, he will be a very good player for us and we can use him, versatile (player), he will help us a lot,” he added.

United have resumed their pre-season activities, recently securing a 2-0 victory against Rangers in a high-profile friendly at Murrayfield.

The match saw the return of Jadon Sancho to the starting lineup for the first time in nearly a year, following the resolution of his differences with Ten Hag.

Mount, who joined United last summer, has undoubtedly, been a focal point of Ten Hag’s plans.
