'Didn't deserve it' - Mason Mount makes honest admission after finally netting first Man Utd goal in Premier League draw with Brentford

The Englishman scored his first-ever goal in a United shirt on Saturday as his 96th-minute strike helped the club take a 1-0 lead only to concede after just three minutes. Despite opening the scoring, the Red Devils performed quite poorly and had only 11 shots in total compared to The Bees' 31.

Goalscorer Mount acknowledged the team's poor show on the pitch and even confessed that his club did not deserve to pick up three points. The player, however, remained hopeful that they would stage a comeback very soon.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, the midfielder said, "When you go 1-0 up right at the end you want to try and hang onto that. If you look at the game overall it wasn't to our standard. We know that. When you score at the death you think you can maybe hang on. But maybe we didn't deserve it.

"Brentford make it difficult. It is never easy coming here. They make it tough and get around you. Maybe we didn't get it going from the beginning. We know we can improve and we need to because we need to win games. We will improve, we will work hard. These are the games you want to win. We need to step up and that is what we will focus on."

The 25-year-old, who played his first Premier League match on Saturday since November, will be next seen in action as his club face Chelsea in an important league fixture on Thursday.
