Ruben Amorim's Carrington reaction could offer Manchester United's forgotten man a new start

It is unusual for Manchester United to release such in-depth footage of training as they did on Monday, showing plenty of action from Ruben Amorim's first day on the grass at Carrington.

The seven-minute clip showed Amorim arranging the players available to him in his favoured 3-4-3 shape, and it's been pored over relentlessly since to decipher any clues as to what he may or may not do.

He wants his team to play with an intensity and aggression that wasn't always evident at United under Erik ten Hag. Mount can deliver these characteristics, however, and he was impressive at the very start of this season, pressing on the front foot and showing an energy that really added something to the team's play.

Unfortunately, it was a familiar story when Mount picked up an injury at Brighton. After a brief comeback in September, he returned to the treatment table before coming on against PAOK earlier in November.
