On the eve of the new season, MU's new captain Fernandes has chosen Mount as the player who will lead the club back to glory.
According to The Sun, he said:
“We need that aggressiveness and that passion, we need players like that in games. "He's the type of player I like to play against and would like even more people to support me. Now I will do everything I can to protect him.
Fernandes added:
"I said a few years ago that he is one of the best players in the Premier League. We are happy to have him here, wherever he plays, as a No 10, No 8 or No. winger.
“He is very good at pressing, full of energy and very good with the ball. He has also scored and assisted. “We expect a lot from him but he is aware of it. He knows the expectations will be high. He has a point to prove like the others."

On Wednesday, United were beaten 2-0 by Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
After the match, Ten Hag said:
“We conceded [to Kobbie Mainoo] due to injury and then we conceded quickly. I think then, we found ourselves in the game. I think it's one-on-one, although there's certainly room for improvement.
“I think pressing could be better. We did much better against Arsenal. We can be more compact. On the ball, we can be calm. However, we created opportunities. But we didn't score. »
United will return to action on Monday when they play at Borussia Dortmund's Allegiant Stadium in Nevada.
