Ruben Amorim has say on Mason Mount position after comeback at Nottingham Forest

He curled a shot narrowly wide of Matz Sels’s post just moments after being introduced in place of Joshua Zirkzee – the closest United had really come to breaking Forest’s resolve in the second half, before Harry Maguire’s two late opportunities.

Mason’s minutes are obviously being managed carefully, given the issues he’s experienced since joining from Chelsea, but his availability is a big plus for Amorim, with tricky tests against Manchester City, Lyon and Newcastle United on the horizon over the next fortnight.

Our head coach believes Mount’s time at Stamford Bridge and with the national team shows he can be a good option on either side of the attack, as we look for the right blend going forward domestically and in Europe.
