A £60 million-plus Manchester United signing from Brazil would normally be guaranteed a place in the starting line-up in the biggest game of the season at Liverpool. And yet Matheus Cunha is most likely to spend the first part of Sunday’s visit to Anfield in the Premier League warming the bench due to the renaissance of another £60m man in Mason Mount.

Mason Mount has revealed how much Manchester United players are struggling with their difficult start to the season. The Red Devils got some relief after losing three of their opening six games by beating Sunderland 2-0 on Saturday thanks to first-half goals from Mount and Benjamin Sesko. The midfielder highlighted how important the win was to the whole squad and to under-fire coach Ruben Amorim.

Ruben Amorim can breathe a sigh of relief after Manchester United registered a much-needed 2-0 win over the in-form Sunderland on Saturday afternoon. Following the game, Mason Mount, who got himself on the scoresheet along with summer arrival Benjamin Sesko, asserted that the team is fully behind the under-pressure Amorim amid reports that he could face the axe.

Manchester United suffered another dismal result against Brentford, losing 3-1 to leave fans and pundits alike questioning Ruben Amorim's approach. Gary Neville singled out the decision to play Mason Mount at left-back as particularly baffling and symptomatic of a deeper malaise at the club. The Red Devils are struggling to find any consistency in their performances and results.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has been given another massive injury headache after Diogo Dalot pulled out of Portugal's World Cup qualifiers.
