Luke Shaw believes Mason Mount is “exactly the kind of player” that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag “wants and needs” at the club.

The England midfielder joined back at the beginning of July and has featured in pre-season fixtures.

He is seen as a signing that has strengthened United’s midfield unit, with Mount set to compete with Christian Eriksen for a starting spot next season.

“After working with the manager for the last season, I think Mason is exactly the kind of player he wants and needs around this place,” Shaw said.
