Manchester United’s latest recruit, Mason Mount, has played his first game for the Red Devils.

The England international made his debut for the Manchester based club as they kicked off their pre-season schedule on Wednesday.

The English midfielder was part of Erik ten Hag’s side that defeated Leeds United 2-0 in Oslo.

The 24-year-old made a £55million move from West London to Old Trafford this month.

Ten Hag’s starting XI was a combination of youth and experience, with Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho joined by young prospects such as Kobbie Mainoo and Omari Forson.

Mount created a big opening in the 10th minute, passing in behind for Amad Diallo to tee up Hannibal Mejbri, but the Tunisian was denied by a smart save from Leeds goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson.

Moments later the England midfielder was involved again, winning the ball back before attempting a delicate chip over Klaesson from 25 yards which landed on the roof of the net. The Red Devils’ goals were scored by Noam Emeram and Joe Hugill.
