Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount has lavished praise on new signing Andrey Santos. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Describing the Brazilian youngster as a brilliant addition to the squad, Mount declared that he has enjoyed playing with Santos thus far.
Mason added that being named captain for the club’s latest preseason game was a massive honour.
His words, “Andrey is a really good player. He reads the game brilliantly. I know he’s young, but he’s very experienced in going out on loan and playing in the Premier League as well… I’ve known Andrey for a while. I’ve watched him from afar, since he’s broken into the first team at Chelsea.
Defensively we’re both players that want to get around it, want to put tackles in and win the ball back and be aggressive. I’ve really enjoyed it. It’s a position that I love and that I see myself in.”
On captaining MUFC vs Rosenborg, “You have different types of leaders. You have ones that are very vocal. I want to always see myself as one that leads by example and never stops working on the pitch.
I’ve been captain previously so I love the role. Especially with a lot of younger players on the pitch, being able to speak to them and make them feel comfortable in the game and even off the pitch as well.
It’s a role that I really like and I loved having it (the armband) in the second half.
I feel brilliant. I feel really, really good. I finished the season well. At the end of last season, playing a few games and being involved. Building on that momentum at the end of last season. It’s been a good break, but I was ready and raring to get back and get training again… I know we’ve got a few more games left and a few more weeks to really work at stuff.”
