"I know what I can bring to Man Utd": Mount

Mason Mount said goodbye to Chelsea after 18 years this summer, to join Erik ten Hag's Man United. The Red Devils had made the English international a priority target, so it's apparent that the Dutchman has plans for him.

In an interview with United's media, the 24-year-old outlined in his own words how he feels he fits in to the Manchester side.

"I've always seen myself as a midfielder, a no.8 that can obviously get forward, attack, try and score goals, create goals," he began. "But also be able to do the other side as well and defend and help the team when we're under pressure".

"And that's obviously a massive focus of mine, being able to come here and and help the boys in that situation. And I know what I can bring to this team", he continued.

"Now it's about going and doing it on the pitch," he asserted. "As I said before, I know the team, I know the players that we have in this squad and what we're capable of doing and achieving. So yeah, [it's] hugely exciting for me and I can't wait to meet all the boys and get going.

"I mean, you look at the players that are in midfield and it's vastly experienced of obviously winning major trophies and there are quality players. And being able to kind of learn from them as well and, and bringing my style into the team, that's what it's all about", he finished.
