Ruben Amorim outlines impact of diet and ice baths on Mason Mount's revival as Man Utd boss hails midfielder as 'perfect' after double in Europa League win against Athletic Club

Premier League

Chelsea

Manchester United

<p>Mount struck twice to secure a resounding 4-1 victory on the night against Bilbao, after a 3-0 first leg win, with his manager crediting all the hard work the 26-year-old has put in this season, including numerous ice baths and a focus on his diet. Both goals showed class but his second was something special, with shades of David Beckham as Mount struck from almost the half-way line.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mount has struggled massively with injury at Old Trafford since joining from Chelsea in 2023, making just 42 appearances in almost two seasons. Last night's brace saw the midfielder double his goal tally for the Red Devils, which Amorim will hope is a sign of things to come.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amorim said: "I'm so happy for him. He is such a player. He works really hard, he has quality.</p><p>"When you see that kind of guy like Mason working hard every day, eating well, having ice baths, when you have this kind of player you just want to help him. He is perfect for this position as he can be a midfielder, but also runs like a winger so I'm really happy for him.</p><p>"When you have a full squad you can think about the game. Sometimes we're surviving with people in different positions, but with more options you can change the game and push forwards and these things can help you win games."</p><p></p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>Following goals at Brentford and Bilbao, Mount will look to score for a third successive game when United host West Ham United on Sunday. But the main event of their season is on 21 May, when they will do battle with Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final. </p>
