How Mount’s first appearance played out

Mount was warmly greeted in Norway when he got here out on to the pitch for Wednesday’s warm-up.

The midfielder took within the applause – displaying the appreciation again to his new followers – and regarded sharp in the course of the passing and capturing drills that ensued in our match preparations, with a nice top-corner end in the course of the latter even drawing a clap from Nathan Bishop in purpose.

Talking earlier than the sport about his no.7, Erik defined that it’s a “large benefit” to have him in early for pre-season, and Mason wasted subsequent to no time in getting concerned.

The midfielder took a free-kick in a harmful space, following an early foul on Amad, and though the ball was cleared away from the supposed goal of Raphael Varane, it was an early signal that the 24-year-old could be central to proceedings on the afternoon.
