Mason Mount is confident that Manchester United can finally end their long wait for Premier League glory next season—and he wants to be at the heart of it.
The 27-year-old midfielder is wrapping up his third campaign at Old Trafford, a spell that hasn't exactly gone to plan. Injuries and fierce competition have limited him to just 69 appearances since his big-money move from Chelsea. But don't let the setbacks fool you: Mount's belief in himself and this United squad is as strong as ever.
"I have a goal of winning the Premier League," Mount said, with the kind of conviction that gets fans dreaming. "Obviously I've won the Champions League already, but can we win the league? Yes, I think we can as a group."
Under Michael Carrick's steady hand, United are pushing for Champions League qualification—a solid foundation for bigger things. Mount sees a team that's already proven it can go toe-to-toe with the best. "We've shown what we can do against the big teams already—Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal," he pointed out. "We've already shown that this season, so we definitely can do it."
The real test, he admits, is turning those flashes of brilliance into something more consistent. "It's about doing it on a bigger stage in the Champions League and doing it more consistently in the Premier League," Mount explained. "I'll hopefully be a massive part in that moving forward next season."
For a club celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2028, the timing couldn't be more perfect. Mount's optimism is contagious, especially when he talks about the mentality required to get there. "We have to have that kind of mentality," he said. "It may seem a little bit far away, but you have to have that to really push yourself as a group."
He also praised Carrick's "calm confidence," a quality that seems to be rubbing off on the squad. For a player who's already tasted European glory with Chelsea, Mount knows what it takes to win. Now, he's betting that United's best days are still ahead.
Whether you're gearing up for matchday or just dreaming of title celebrations, Mount's words are a reminder that the Red Devils are building something special. And with players like him leading the charge, next season might just be the one.
