After what has felt like an exceptionally long international break, United return to action when they host Brighton on Saturday, well aware that a win is required to raise spirits after a testing few weeks.
The 27-year-old was one of the stars at the World Cup in Qatar as Morocco made history, but having only signed on a loan, he now faces the challenge of proving why United should trigger their option to buy him at the end of it. "He can also play alongside Casemiro because he can play higher on the pitch, and it's good to have him," the manager stated after defeat to Arsenal last time out. "He fits good to Premier League football, Champions League football, the demands."
It is the combination of Casemiro and Amrabat in the same midfield trio, or diamond, that is so compelling and could revolutionise the way United approach bigger matches. The Portuguese is the best creative threat in the side and needs to be playing in a central position to have a greater influence on proceedings, but Mount's high work rate and ability to win back possession could make him a wise selection out wide.
