Mason Mount came to his manager’s defence following Manchester United’s 2–0 win over Sunderland, insisting the Red Devils and Ruben Amorim are “together” despite continued struggles.
The midfielder bagged the winner for Man Utd on Saturday at Old Trafford, helping secure three points in Amorim’s 50th match in charge. The victory, though, is only the Portuguese manager’s 19th across all competitions since he was appointed last November.
In fact, the Red Devils have still yet to win back-to-back Premier League matches during Amorim’s tenure, a reality that keeps the boss under constant pressure and scrutiny, especially after Man Utd’s nightmare 2024–25 season.
Despite the poor string of results and reports of potentially bringing in Oliver Glasner or Xavi to replace Amorim, Mount backed his current manager ahead of the October international break.
“Obviously, even in this season, we’ve gone through ups and downs, but we’re together. And we’ll continue to be together with the manager, with the staff, to continue moving forward,” Mount said.
