Mount has faced challenges in establishing himself at Old Trafford since joining the team from Chelsea in 2023, due to several injury issues. He now faces increased competition in his preferred position as a number ten, with the arrival of new players Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

Amorim praised Mount's work ethic and versatility, saying that he moves constantly between positions and knows all the positions on the field. Amorim believes that this competition among players is a good thing, as it pushes the team to work harder and prepare for the season.

Amorim also mentioned that he has an idea of the starting lineup, but the players will have the opportunity to change his mind during the week. He plans to give the team a full week of training, with two strong sessions and some time to think about the strategy for the upcoming games.
