Ruben Amorim Praises Mason Mount's Return, Brings Quality And Leadership

Mason Mount has slowly found the form of his best game after two difficult seasons at Manchester United (Instagram/@manutd).

Ruben Amorim praised the impact of Mason Mount's presence after Manchester United addressed the difficulties and destroyed Wolverhampton Wanderers with a score of 4-1 at Molineux on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, early morning WIB.

Manchester United had lost the lead against a team struggling in the Premier League as Jean-Ricner Bellegarde equalized after Bruno Fernandes' opener before the break.

The Red Devils don't want events to lose full points like their 1-1 draw at home against West Ham in the middle of last week. They advanced in the second half to a 4-1 win thanks to goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Mount, and Bruno Fernandes.

"I think, once again, after we scored, we were a little careless in possession and that gave the opponent a little hope."

"However, we also created many chances in the first half. We should have finished the round in a different way."

"Then in the first half, they realized we had everything to win the game, to get the three points. They did it."

"I think speed, the quality we showed in the second half, understands that the moment against Wolves was very difficult as a team, as a club, so we took advantage of it," Amorim said.

There were a number of high-quality performances at Molineux, where Mount came home with the title of best player of the game and praise from Amorism.

The performance confirmed that the midfielder had returned after two consecutive seasons since 2023/2024 which was difficult because he had to struggle with injury.

This season, Mount is slowly starting to find his touch again, gaining trust, even though he has only played one full game.

Mount not only brings quality, but also leadership in the dressing room.

"He can defend, he can attack, the quality when he touches the ball is very good, so it's not a surprise for me."

"He's a different type of leader. Unlike Licha (Lisandro Martinez), for example. He is the one who leads by setting an example."

"The situation is fine, Mason Mount is always the same--training, talking, dealing with the people around Carrington. It's not easy, so he's a very, very good player," Amorim said.

Victory over Wolves brought Manchester United up to sixth in the Premier League standings after 15 games with 25 points.

Meanwhile, Wolves are increasingly suffering. The team that has never won and is now at the bottom of the standings has only packed two points from 15 matches.

Not surprisingly, many new fans sat on their seats in the 15th minute in protest against the club owner, with Fosun and Jeff Shi facing violent screams and repeated to leave the stadium.

Wolves manager Rob Edwards called it a very difficult night and the night that the fans' anger turned to the players. Jorgen Strand Larsen showed his frustration when he was replaced, but was greeted with cheers.

"Listen, I fully understand the frustration. I think it's been six months since we last won, so I understand."

"I'm not going to sit here and beautify or anything like that at all, so I understand that side. I would love it if they supported the players, but once again, I understand the frustration of the situation we are in."

"The players are trying, I can guarantee that. However, there is clearly a lack of confidence and belief there so they are unable to show their best abilities and it becomes difficult," Edwards said of his protests and potential impact on the players.
