Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount believes he is edging closer to his best again, insisting his top level can be even higher than what he showed during his Chelsea days. Speaking with quiet confidence in a post shared by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account.

Mason Mount tells Sky: I feel like I’m close to being back [to my level at Chelsea. I think it can be higher than before.
His recent involvement has been encouraging, especially after playing a key role in United’s first away league win at Crystal Palace since 2020, a result previously reported by SoftFootball.
The 26-year-old has endured setbacks since arriving at Old Trafford, including injuries and disrupted momentum. One of his lowest moments came early in Ruben Amorim’s reign, when he was forced off just 12 minutes into a Manchester derby.
Mount admitted it took time to process but quickly shifted his mindset, saying he focused on recovery and coming back stronger. His determination has started to show again, even in difficult matches like the recent defeat at Aston Villa, which SoftFootball also covered.
Mount has now started three Premier League games in a row, a rare run for him in a United shirt, and he is keen to keep that going. He feels more comfortable in a slightly advanced midfield role, one that allows him to attack the box, press aggressively, and still support defensively.
He explained, stressing how important energy is to his game:
I can go forward, I can help the lads, I can press.
Former United defender Gary Neville has also noticed the difference, stating that the team looks better with Mount on the pitch. That praise reflects his influence without the ball, often triggering presses and setting the tempo.
Beyond club football, Mount is quietly hopeful about England. With Thomas Tuchel now in charge, a coach who knows him well from Chelsea, Mount understands what is required. Still, he remains grounded. For now, the focus is simple. Stay fit, stay sharp, and let the performances talk.
