Matheus Cunha<\/a> was dropped to the bench and Mason Mount was brought into the Manchester United attack to play alongside Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.<\/p>\n

Mount earned praise from United fans<\/a> for his stunning performance at Old Trafford on Saturday, with the former England international coming off in the second half.<\/p>\n

United manager<\/a> Ruben Amorim subbed off Mount in the 65th minute for Matheus Cunha, who had started the 3-1 Premier League defeat to Brentford last weekend.<\/p>\n

Tim Sherwood<\/a> was left to eat his words after questioning Amorim\u2019s call to play Mount in the left-sided No 10 role in his system over summer signing Cunha.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sky Sports<\/a>, he said: \u201cI asked why is Mason Mount playing over Matheus Cunha? Exactly this reason!<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a goal threat. It was all Sunderland, but it\u2019s a fantastic start, goal-wise. It\u2019s a great finish past [Robin] Roefs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tim Sherwood drops high praise for Mason Mount again before the Man Utd star came off for Matheus Cunha in the Sunderland match<\/p>\n

Mount, whose Old Trafford playing spell has been start-stop due to injuries, has stood out this season when he has played in an attacking role under Amorim.<\/p>\n

Amorim has been an admirer of the former Three Lions star and Mount produced a show-stealing performance to show his eye-catching qualities in the final third.<\/p>\n

Outside of United\u2019s first-half opener, Mount linked up superbly well with Mbeumo and Sesko in the attack and Sherwood enjoyed how the former Blues ace drifted in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a save. Really impressive at the moment, Man Utd,\u201d Sherwood said during the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cSesko\u2019s at the heart of everything they\u2019re doing. You\u2019ve got Mbeumo and Mount coming inside for the flick-ons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mount has made seven appearances across all competitions for United this season and the former Blues star has scored once and registered an assist as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sky Sports pundit Tim Sherwood admitted that he was left \u2018asking\u2019 one question around a key decision from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,36609,43054,1102,919,112,43055],"class_list":{"0":"post-62299","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-mason-mount","11":"tag-matheus-cunha","12":"tag-premier-league","13":"tag-ruben-amorim","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-tim-sherwood"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
