"Explaining his decision before kick-off to recall him for the Premier League trip to Selhurst Park, Amorim reinforced that support. "Mason Mount is really smart," he said. "He gives us more possession. He is intense and he can score goals, so is one more player to be near the box." The remark showed incredible foresight as Mount sealed United's first victory at Palace since 2020 by drilling home what seemed to be a pre-planned free-kick move with skipper Bruno Fernandes from 20 yards."
""Mason is a great player," Fernandes told BBC's Match of the Day. "His quality was never in doubt with his team-mates. Sometimes he struggled a bit for goals and assists and also with injuries, but when he gets his fitness, he is important." Prior to this season, injuries have prevented Mount from building the momentum that persuaded United to pay Chelsea 55m for him in June 2023."

Mount drilled home a pre-planned free-kick with Bruno Fernandes to secure Manchester United's first win at Palace since 2020. Bruno Fernandes emphasized Mount's quality and importance when fit. Injuries previously disrupted Mount's momentum following his £55m move from Chelsea in June 2023, but availability and involvement have increased this season. Mount's historical minutes at United were limited, yet current fitness has boosted his contributions.
