Mason Mount’s reaction to one first-team Manchester United star was captured in the aftermath of the Red Devils’ 2-0 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old Manchester United ace returned to the starting XI for Saturday’s Premier League clash after Matheus Cunha was dropped to the bench.
Mason Mount impressed United fans with his superb Premier League showing at Old Trafford in the left-sided No 10 role in Ruben Amorim’s tactical system.
The former Chelsea star linked up with Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko in attack and Mount had a meaningful impact in the first half for United against Sunderland.
Mount made the difference in the opening 10 minutes after he was picked out by a Bryan Mbeumo cross and the United No 7 fired a low strike into the Sunderland net.

Mason Mount made way in the second half and Ruben Amorim brought on Matheus Cunha in place of the former England international in the 65th minute on Saturday.
United’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Sunderland also marked the club debut of Senne Lammens, who arrived at Old Trafford as a deadline-day signing last month.

Mason Mount explains the importance of Senne Lammens’ performance through one major positive from Man Utd’s win
United manager Amorim had made the big call ahead of the Premier League match to drop Altay Bayindir and deploy Senne Lammens between the sticks.
Lammens showed confidence through his command of the area, and the United summer signing securing a clean sheet was seen as a major positive for Mount.
“I know it had been difficult recently, but a really important win today, especially at home – I feel like we’ve been very solid,” he told MUTV, as per Manchester United’s official website.
“When we start sharply at home, there’s definitely a good chance that we can win the game.
“Getting that first goal and then getting another goal in the first half really helped us going forward.”
Mount added: “I think it’s so important to get the clean sheet as well, so all-round a good day today.
“There was a lot of pressure on today, so for us to step up mentally, to really show character, was so important.
“We look forward now, we keep moving forward and stay together as a team.”
United are now 10th in the Premier League table going into the October break and the Red Devils have won three of their opening seven league matches this season.
