Lifeline for Mason Mount! Man Utd flop to be handed second chance to impress under Ruben Amorim as new head coach begins squad planning

Mount has had a nightmare journey at Old Trafford since moving from Stamford Bridge last season. The former Chelsea star has been plagued with multiple injuries that have limited him to just 26 appearances across all competitions for United over the last 17 months. However, The Sun reports that the England international will get an opportunity to revive his career under new United boss Ruben Amorim.

The report adds that Amorim is an admirer of Mount's versatility in the centre of the park and he plans to incorporate him into his preferred 3-4-3 system. The Portuguese coach's arrival in Manchester during the international break could be a huge boost for the English midfielder, who has just returned to training. With several players out on international duty, the ex-Chelsea star will get ample time to work closely with the new manager.

However, Mount, will have to perform consistently and most importantly prove his fitness to earn a regular place in Amorim's lineup, with there little margin for error left as United seek to climb out of the bottom half of the Premier League table and launch a bid for European qualification.

The Amorim era at Old Trafford will officially kick off on November 24, with United set to face Ipswich Town away from home. The Red Devils are due back in Europa League action four days later at home to Bodo/Glimt.
