Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount could feature in a new role under manager Ruben Amorim.

The England international has had a tough start to his Red Devils career.

He has managed less than 1000 minutes of regular playing time due to multiple injuries.

Mount had a bright pre-season with the club earlier in the summer, but his injury woes continued at the start of the campaign with two separate setbacks.

The 25-year-old recently returned to full team training and he could make his first appearance for the club since September under new manager Amorim.

Amorim is already excited to work with the former Chelsea star and in our opinion, the Portuguese could get the best out of the midfielder with his formation.

The 39-year-old is expected to operate with a 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 set-up with the Red Devils going forward.

Mount had his best moments at Chelsea in a similar tactical formation under manager Thomas Tuchel.

The Champions League winner played as one of the inverting wingers behind the main striker.

He registered 13 goals and 16 assists in Tuchel's first full season as manager.

The PS29 million-rated star has featured from the number eight role at United.

He has hardly played as a number 10 with Bruno Fernandes being an undisputed starter.

This could change under Amorim with Mount partnering Fernandes in the final third.

The likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo could operate as wing-backs.

Marcus Rashford's defensive work has come into question in the past and we believe the United graduate could be a genuine option to lead the attack under Amorim.

Mount could be back in the matchday squad when United take on Ipswich Town on the road this weekend.

It is left to be seen whether he starts at Portman Road.
