Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount have clashed in the past, but now they are united under the same banner as Manchester United's first summer signing. Fernandes, who had previously defended teammate David de Gea when the two squared off, welcomed Mount to the Red Devils with a post on social media, featuring the two in a scuffle.
The Portuguese midfielder is excited to have Mount on his side this time around, noting that he needs players with the same aggression and passion.
"What took you so long to sign? We need players with that kind of aggression and passion, we need players to be like that in the games. These are the kind of players I like to play against and, even more, to have in my side, so I'm happy he's here now," Fernandes said.
The 25-year-old went on to say that Mount is one of the best players in the Premier League and he has a lot of potential to be one of the best. Despite the midfielder's struggles last season with Chelsea, Fernandes said that Mount, like everyone else at United, doesn't have to prove anything.
"I have a point to prove, so does Licha [Martinez], Casemiro, Rapha [Varane], André [Onana], Harry [Maguire], Victor [Lindelof]. It's not about him. He doesn't have to prove anything more than anyone else," Fernandes said.
Fernandes and Mount are expected to be key players for United this season as they look to close the gap on Manchester City and Arsenal. With both of them on the same team, they should have no problem doing just that.
