Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount has expressed his delight at the high-profile summer signings of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, claiming the new players can take the club to “another level”.
Big-money move to solve attacking problems
United spent more than £130 million this summer to secure the services of Brazilian forward Cunha and exciting Brentford winger Mbeumo. The pair arrived at Old Trafford with the goal of bolstering United’s front line, which has struggled to score goals in recent seasons. The Red Devils endured a disastrous end to last season, finishing 15th in the Premier League.
Mount impressed with Amorim and new signings
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Mount highlighted the impact the new signings will have on the team. “Obviously the new players coming in will take us to a new level and we all have to stay at that level to perform well,” the England international said.
Mount praised the newly appointed manager, who he will take over after Kuz time. “He has given me confidence from day one, speaking to me. I know what he wants and how he wants the team to play,” Mount said. The midfielder also revealed how he is using his experience to help younger teammates adapt to the system and guide them into their roles.
A new era at Old Trafford?
United fans are hoping for a fresh start under Amorim, with the likes of He, Cunha and Mbeumo coming into attack and Mount taking on leadership duties. The arrival of both players will bring pace, and postiveness, to a team that has been lacking depth and energy in the final third.
Although the rebuild under Amorim is still in its early stages, the club’s summer activities indicate a clear intention to return to the top tier of English football.
What’s next for United?
Manchester United will take on West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton in their pre-season friendlies in the United States as part of the Premier League Summer Series. Fans will likely get their first glimpse of Mbeumo and Cunha as the club prepares for a crucial season under new leadership.
