Mason Mount: Man Utd are capable of winning Premier League title

Mason Mount believes Manchester United are capable of winning the Premier League title in the near future.

The Red Devils midfielder is yet to win a league title during his career but thinks that the club are well-equipped to do so under Michael Carrick next term.

Mount told The Athletic: "I have a goal of winning the Premier League. I've won the Champions League already, but can we do that? Yes, I think we can as a group.

"It may seem a little bit far away, but you have to have that mentality to really push yourself as a group. We've shown what we can do against the big teams already this season: Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal.

"It's about now doing it on a bigger stage in the Champions League and doing it more consistently in the Premier League. Hopefully, I can be a massive part of that moving forward next season. Yeah, it's a goal. I want to win the Premier League."

Carrick has overseen impressive results since taking interim charge in January and Mount believes that the ex-United midfielder and his coaching staff – led by former England assistant Steve Holland – have been key to the team's upturn.

He explained: "Speaking to Michael, (you understand) his knowledge of the game and his tactics. Having Steve along with him, who I already knew before, and bringing Jonathan Woodgate in, they were all people with major experience in the game. Jonny Evans as well.

"There is so much experience within the group now. Steve has won the Champions League and been a part of big, big teams.

"(Champions League qualification) is not done yet, but we need to carry on, and I think that we're in a really good place now."

It is not yet clear if Carrick will be rewarded with the United job permanently but Mount says the coach has been "brilliant" for him.

He said: "It's not my call, I don't know what happens. But from my point of view, he's been brilliant, speaking to me, I really like the way he works, the way he sees the game.

"We'll see what happens, but you can see the way we play and how we've performed since he's been in, and the position we're in now, and we're really pushing on."
