Last season was in so much pain, and now is the moment for Manchester United to rise?

Last season became the most painful period in modern history. The final 15th place in the standings was the worst result since the relegation in 1974.

's failure against Tottenham in the Europa League final further exacerbated the pain the club suffered. This series of failures left a deep trauma to every member of the team.

Mason Mount, who has transferred from Chelsea for £60 million, also felt the pain of that season. The injury made it difficult for him to contribute the best to the team.

Now under the guidance of Ruben Amorin, the 26-year-old midfielder faces the future with new optimism. He is determined to make up for all the disappointments that happened last season.

"It felt so painful all season," Mason Mount said in a recent interview. "However, this is a new chapter. We know last season wasn't good enough, and now it's time to cheer up."

Healthy competition and role of new players

Mason Mount successfully returned to the main lineup after four months of absence due to injury, preparing for the end of the season. His return is just right in order to prepare for the new season.

Although Manchester United has spent £133.5 million to bring Mattus Cunia and Brian Mbemu, Mount is not threatening. Instead, he sees this competition as an additional motivation.

"In clubs like Manchester United, competition is a must," Mason Mount said firmly. “We hope to win as a team, new players have already shown great performance in training.” The adaptation period is indeed a challenge for every new player. However, Mason Mount and senior players work hard to create an atmosphere that is conducive to adaptation.

Mason Mount is considered a valuable asset in his second new aid experience in the Premier League. They don't need long to understand the intensity and characteristics of the competition in England's top leagues.

"They know how hard the Premier League is. The goals and assists they have already made are exactly what we need," Mount explained. "We work together to improve these because we didn't reach our goal last season."

Forget Bilbao and focus on the preseason

' loss to Tottenham 0-1 in the Europa League final in Bilbao is still heartbreaking. This moment became the disappointment at the highest point in an already problematic season.

However, Mason Mount chose to regard this tragic experience as a valuable learning experience. He used the preseason as an opportunity to correct the team's various shortcomings.

"It takes a long time to get out," Mason Mount admitted frankly. "I've lost a few times in the finals, and it's never easy." The importance of preseason under Amorim cannot be ignored. The Portuguese coach started coaching the team midway last season, with limited preparation time.

This preseason is longer, and Mason Mount is optimistic that the team can build a solid foundation. The extra time provides an opportunity to improve on the undesirable aspects.

"This preseason is very important to us. It's a moment when we corrected many of the unfinished things last year," Mason Mount said with confidence.
