Amorim is “desperate” for the mountain to prevent more injury problems, because he regards him as the key to his plans.
The boss did not hide his feelings about the former Chelsea man earlier this season and said: “Mason Mount … I have to tell you that I love that child.
“You can look in his eyes that he wants this so badly. This is the most important thing.
“He played in this system, so it's perfect for him … I have two positions for Mason Mount, so he should be very happy.
“He fits our style. He is a very good player inside and also outside the field. The type of character we want in this team and the club want.”
Mount's husband Utd career has difficulty starting since his £ 55 million move from Chelsea before the start of last season.
He has only one goal and one assist and misses 49 games due to different injury problems.
