MASON MOUNT was showered with praise from Manchester United fans following his display against Bodo/Glimt.
The £55million signing made only his fourth start of the season in United's 3-2 Europa League win over the Norwegian minnows on Thursday night.
Mount looked like a shell of the player he was at Chelsea last season but showed signs of a potential resurgence in Ruben Amorim's first win in charge of the Red Devils.
He produced a beautiful flick to Manuel Ugarte in the build-up to Rasmus Hojlund's second goal of the match
And the Old Trafford faithful believe Amorim may be the man to get the best out of the England international.
One wrote on X: "Mount standing ovation, what a performance."

Another said: "Is this the Mason Mount redemption arc? He’s played well."
And another said: "If that was Mason Mount’s first proper minutes under Amorim, can’t wait to see what’s to come."
One remarked: "IF we can keep Mount fit he’ll be one of Amorim’s key players, he’s one of the only ones who knows the 3-4-2-1 system inside out & he should thrive under him."
Another chimed in: "Solid performance, Mason Mount."

One over-the-moon United supporter said: "Mason Mount, I bloody love you."
Mount was substituted just before the hour mark and received a warm embrace from his new manager, who chest-bumped him before he sat on the bench.
The Manchester Evening News pointed out: "A bullish chest bump and pat from Amorim for Mount.
"Given his work-rate off the ball, easy to see why Amorim has a lot of time for him."
Another said: "Love to see that kind of respect and connection between coach and player!"
A first-half strike from Alejandro Garnacho and second-half goals from Hojlund secured Amorim his first win as Red Devils boss.
The Portuguese gaffer said of the game: "Like a real ride, we started very well then we suffered two goals in two transitions.
“I liked the way the players continued to play our game.
"I could feel the crowd when it was 2-1, sometimes we won the ball and we had problems in the past where we give the ball [away] too much.
"So the mindset now is to keep the ball and sometimes they have to go forward, they are really trying but i think we deserved the win.

"Of course, I see what everybody sees, good moments, difficult moments, some confusion in the end trying to hold the result.
"But the lads did a great job, they ran, they pressed, they tried to do the things we worked on these three days and we won.”
