Rio Ferdinand, on his YouTube channel: “I was really impressed by Mason Mount’s performance today. He showed great movement both in and out of possession. We all recognize his abilities in the box—he can score and create chances. However, it’s his intelligence and ability to make runs, whether we have the ball or not, that sets him apart from our other players. That’s why he will continue to be featured in games; he adds a unique dimension.”
Gary Lineker, on The Rest is Football: “He’s been through a challenging period with injuries and hasn’t found his rhythm since joining Manchester United. Even before that, he was struggling. Yet, you can’t forget the immense talent he has and how exhilarating he was during his early days at Chelsea. I noticed today that his energy seemed to return. Let’s hope he can maintain his health because there’s definitely a great footballer in him.”
