Mason Mount has said Manchester United want to win “as many trophies as we can get” in 2023/24, when the midfielder hopes to play a more regular role after starting only five Premier League matches last season because of a calf injury.
Former England international Mount has rarely featured since joining United for £55 million from Chelsea in June 2023 but has played the first 45 minutes of all of their first three pre-season friendlies.
“This is such an important time for us as a group,” the 25-year-old told MUTV. “We don’t normally get loads of time to prepare for games during the season. You have maybe a few days if you’re having two games a week.
“Now it’s time for us to perform. We ready for it and [want to win] as many trophies as we can get, as many games as we can. That’s our focus throughout the whole group. We’re definitely on the same page.”

Rashford: United can win Champions League
Since the creation of the Premier League, United have only once won fewer top-flight games than the 18 they registered last season, finishing eighth – their lowest position since 1989/90.
Mount featured in 20 of their 52 matches, coming on as a late substitute in their surprise 2-1 win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25.
A 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in California on Sunday was United’s second loss of their pre-season programme. “We got some valuable minutes against a good opposition… but we’re looking to win more games,” striker Marcus Rashford said, adding that the intense heat of their US tour is “better than training in England”.
Asked about his ambitions as a youngster, Rashford replied: “In the beginning, it was just about playing for Man United. And when you get there, it’s about winning.
