Mason Mount can benefit from Bryan Mbeumo’s absence
Mount finds himself competing with United’s summer signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha for a starting spot as a No.10 in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system.
Amorim has preferred to play Mount off the left of the front three, but that position has also been occupied by Cunha.
However, with Mbeumo set to leave for AFCON this month, it means there is space for both Cunha and Mount to start either side of a central striker.

Alternatively, both Cunha and Mount have played in false-nine positions this season through the middle.
Mount started centrally against Liverpool and was impressive as United won 2-1 at Anfield. Regardless of where he is played, Amorim must make sure he is in the line-up more often moving forward.
