Mason Mount is backing himself in the fight for places at Old Trafford this season despite Manchester United spending more than £130million on Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
Both new signings play in the two No.10 positions in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system, bringing them into direct competition with Mount.
But the 26-year-old former Chelsea star is confident in his ability to hold down a regular first-team place after finally fighting his way back to form and fitness at the end of last season.
‘One hundred per cent,’ said Mount at United’s hotel base in Chicago on their pre-season tour of the US.
