A new clip from Mason Mount's Premier League debut for Manchester United has emerged, painting a completely different picture of his impact.

The England international sealed a sensational move to Old Trafford this summer, swapping Chelsea for the Red Devils.

However, the midfielder saw himself come under heavy criticism from fans due to his underwhelming performance.

According to talkSPORT, the former Chelsea ace claimed zero goals, zero assists, created zero chances, made zero crosses, won zero tackles, and won zero aerial duals during his time on the pitch.

One particular incident, where Mount unsuccessfully attempted to dribble past two Wolves players, also became a major talking point of the game.

However, a new clip from Mount's Premier League debut for Man United has emerged, which tells a completely different story.

Sportbible reports the viral clip underscored the Englishman's worth to the team, with some fans who have had a glimpse of it now full of praise for the midfielder.

The footage shows Wolves hitting the Red Devils with a counter-attack towards the end of the first half before Mount chased back to defend, ultimately intercepting a pass and winning a foul.

Mount's work ethic and passion from the incident sparked praise from fans online.

@aayurthd tweeted:

"One thing that he never compromises on is working hard for the team. And that is genuinely the best quality."

@dhugy5 added:

"That was his singular highlight of the game. High hopes but he was real poor yesterday."

@PurpleFeebas tweeted:

"Haters will always hate!! Our boy will show them."
