Manchester: Midfielder Mason Mount expresses confidence in Manchester United's ability and mentality to win the Premier League next season. It has been 13 years since United last lifted the title during Sir Alex Ferguson's final year in charge. Despite finishing 15th last season, a victory against Liverpool on Sunday will secure the return of Champions League football to Old Trafford.
According to Ghana Web, Mount, 27, has set his sights on the upcoming campaign and believes that ending the 13-year title drought should be the goal. "I've won the Champions League already, so I have a goal of winning the Premier League," he stated. Mount emphasized the importance of mentality and consistency, noting that the team has already shown their capability against top teams like Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
There has been discussion regarding Mount's role at Old Trafford. He has participated in 20 of United's 34 Premier League matches but has started only 10, with none since a victory over Newcastle in December. While his position in Michael Carrick's formation remains uncertain, Carrick has praised Mount, and the player is optimistic about contributing significantly to United's aspirations.
Mount's belief in his abilities remains strong, and he cherishes being part of a prestigious club. With more games anticipated next season, he is eager to help return the club to its former glory. Reflecting on his FA Cup victory with United, he dreams of the unparalleled experience of winning a Premier League title.
Following a home win over Brentford, United now requires two more points from their remaining four games to secure a spot in Europe's elite club competition. Mount recently participated in a Make A Wish foundation event, leading a team of children with critical illnesses to victory over Premier League mascots, an experience he found deeply rewarding.
Mount also expressed admiration for Carrick's calm and strategic approach, as well as the input from assistant Steve Holland. As United seeks to finalize their Champions League qualification and decide on a new manager, Mount's respect for Carrick and Holland's expertise is evident, emphasizing the strong team dynamic and tactical astuteness they bring to the club.
