Mason Mount will be the happiest man in the Manchester United squad after the Red Devils beat rivals Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley Stadium to win the FA Cup.

Mount joined United from boyhood club Chelsea in the summer for a reported £55 million, a deal that could rise to £60mil if some add-on conditions are met.

He has struggled in his first season due to injuries. According to Transfermarkt, he missed 27 games due to injuries and scored just once, in the 1-1 draw against Brentford.
