Mason Mount has dropped hints about a surprise inclusion in the England team.
The talented Manchester United player has not represented the national team since 2022.
Mount’s last appearance for England was in the World Cup quarter-finals, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat against France in Qatar. A photo capturing him at the England kit launch, wearing the new strip despite not being part of the current squad, has sparked speculation among fans.
Supporters believe that Mount has a chance of making it into the squad for the upcoming summer tournament if he finishes the season strongly. They consider him to be a top-class player and a favorite of England manager Gareth Southgate.
Mount has faced challenges since his £60 million transfer to Manchester United from Chelsea last summer. He missed 15 Premier League games due to a calf injury but made a comeback in a 1-1 draw against Brentford. He scored in the 96th minute, which seemed like a storybook comeback and a potential victory for Man United. However, a late goal from Kristoffer Ajer prevented Mount from securing the win.
Manager Erik ten Hag expressed his satisfaction with Mount’s goal but also expressed sympathy for him, as it should have been the winning goal.
Despite his limited playing time this season, Mount has significant experience playing for England, having earned 36 caps since his debut in September 2019.
While doubts remain about Southgate’s decision to call him up to the team, fans remain optimistic and believe that Mount’s performance, including his goal against Brentford, could improve his chances of being included in the squad for the Euros.
