Bruno Fernandes gave special praise to his teammate at MU

Mason Mount stood out by scoring the winning goal for MU against Crystal Palace, receiving acclaim from Bruno Fernandes and manager Ruben Amorim, creating a chance to revive his performance at Old Trafford.

Captain Bruno Fernandes expressed special admiration for Mason Mountthe hero who secured all three points for Manchester United in a thrilling 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace. The English midfielder’s beautiful goal not only helped the “Red Devils” overcome difficulties but could also mark a turning point in his career at Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes performed brilliantly with two assists—one for Joshua Zirkzee and another for Mount—earning the Man of the Match award. Although there was some concern when Fernandes suffered a minor injury near the end of the game, Amorim confirmed the Portuguese captain “has no serious issues.”

After the match, Bruno Fernandes complimented his teammate: “Mason is an outstanding player. None of us ever doubted his quality. Despite facing challenges with injuries and form, when he is at his best physically, Mount is truly vital to the team.”

Coach Ruben Amorim shared the same view, affirming Mount is a player “who is intelligent and possesses goal-scoring ability that few others on the team have.” And as the coach said, the number 7 demonstrated his value by scoring the decisive goal after a well-coordinated free-kick play with Fernandes.

The goal against Palace was not only relieving but also marked the first time in nearly three years that Mount played a full 90 minutes in a Premier League match. The last time he achieved this was with Chelsea, also against the same opponent in January 2023.

Following a period of injury and adjustment difficulties, this recent performance is seen as a crucial turning point for Mount to rediscover himself. He was once a key player at Chelsea, contributing significantly to their 2021 Champions League victory, but several declining seasons stalled his career.

Now, as Mount gradually regains his form, Coach Amorim gains an additional quality option for the midfield. The 26-year-old can play flexibly either centrally or in the attacking line within a 3-4-3 formation. If he continues this progress, Mount could return to his peak level as during his Chelsea days and become the “golden signing” MU once hoped for.
