Erik Ten Hag adamant Mason Mount can play a big role in his project despite poor start

Despite having a rough start to the new season, Erik ten Hag thinks Mason Mount can be a significant contributor for Manchester United.

The ex-Chelsea star made a move to United in the summer, but after making an appearance early in the campaign, he sustained an injury that sidelined him for five games.

The England international is yet to register any goal this season for Manchester United in the Premier League.

Ten Hag is happy with the contribution Mount has made since rejoining the team and thinks the 24-year-old still has more to offer.

Ten Hag backs Mount

Erik Ten Hag believes in Mason Mount and has said he can offer more in his project according to reports from Daily Mail.

Ten Hag told United's official website: 'He can be a big part [of what we are creating here].

“He can play in that game by supplying, making the connections, making the link-ups for those in the front line.

“He has abilities to give that [energy] and to supply our front players by combinations.

“Also in his moments of defence transition, in defending and pressing he can be and he is already a great player for us because he puts a lot of effort in. When we get better connections [in the team], that will grow.”

Meanwhile, Ten Hag will be anxious for his team to pick up a victory when they play Brentford on Saturday.
