Mason Mount, the worst No. 7 in Manchester United history, reported a revival shot.

Manchester United won 4-1 in the second leg of the Europa League (UEL) semifinals of the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, at 4 a.m. on the 9th (Korean time). Manchester United completely overpowered Athletic with a combined score of 7-1 in the first and second games and brought tickets to the finals. The final match is Son Heung-min's Tottenham.

The winning bluebird was surprisingly a mount that Manchester United fans have now given up on. Mount stepped on the field in the 17th minute of the second half when he was replaced by Manuel Ugarte. Mount scored a valuable equalizer in the 27th minute of the second half when the score was 1 to 1.

Lenny Yoro momentarily came up and gave up the pass to Mount. Mount opened the scoring with a neat turning shot after a touch that completely deceived the defender. Mount's first goal at Old Trafford, who moved to Manchester United last season, finally scored.

Manchester United, which changed the atmosphere with Mount's equalizer, celebrated its journey to the UEL final with Casemiro's come-from-behind goal and Rasmus Hoyleun's net goal. Mount scored another great goal in the first minute of second-half stoppage time, which seemed to end like this.

The ball cleared by the Athletic goalkeeper headed to Mount. Mount, who received the ball near the half-line, attempted an ultra-long-range shot with his left foot, not his main foot, when the goalkeeper came out. Mount's attempted shot cut the net with an exquisite trajectory. It is his first multi-goal since his transfer to Manchester United.




After joining United last season, Mount was given the legendary number seven but had the worst time. Despite the high transfer fee and salary, I haven't paid for it in two years. It was becoming the worst No. 7 in Manchester United history.

However, Mount made an inflection point at the end of the season. Mount scored in the game against Brentford on the 4th. It was Mount's first score in about 13 months after scoring on March 30, 2024.

The first multi-goal since Manchester United's transfer is also very positive, but it is more hopeful that Mount's physical condition is coming up. Mount had never been in normal form after six straight appearances in the very early leagues last season. He lost four months due to a calf injury, and was not even included in the game list at the end of the season.




Early this season, he suffered from a hamstring injury and could hardly play. When the performance was coming up, the hamstring caused trouble again and wasted three months. Manager Amorim is trying to get Mount back from injury to play while managing as much as possible. Thanks to this, Mount played in six consecutive league games for the second time since his transfer to Manchester United.

If Mount's performance recovers, it is really good news for Manchester United. Except for Bruno Fernandes, there is no reliable scoring source. Mount was also a second-line resource with scoring capabilities at Chelsea. In addition, since he is a player who understands Houbeng Amorim's soccer well, we can expect Mount's performance in the UEL final against Tottenham.
