Manchester United vs Lyon: What has been said?

Speaking after his first appearance in a Man United shirt, Mount said: We've been working very hard [in training], so it's good to now put it into practice and play on the pitch now.

"That first week is mostly focused on getting the legs going again, getting the distance in the legs by running.

"But we've definitely been working on a few tactics as well, coming into this game.

"I've definitely got a great understanding of how the manager wants to work and how the boys play.

"Obviously now it's about using these games to work at it more and and putting it into practice when we get on the pitch.

"It was a good start today, a good win. As I said, it's important to get the minutes in the legs, but it's important to win as well and that's what we want to do this season."

"I really liked that role [deeper midfield] today," he added. "Being able to drop in and get on the ball and start the play from a bit deeper, but also having that freedom to be able to get forward and get in the box."
