Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount has sent a one-word response to the Red Devils' 1-0 Premier League win at Fulham on Sunday night.

United responded to last week's defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion with a hard-fought victory at Craven Cottage. Lisandro Martinez's deflected strike in the 78th minute was the difference to lift Ruben Amorim's men to 12th.

Academy product Toby Collyer was the late hero for United with a dramatic goal-line clearance in the dying minutes. Amad's late goal was disallowed for offside but Amorim's team kept the home side out.

Following the win, Marcus Rashford, who was left out of the squad once again, congratulated his teammates on Instagram. Mount also took to social media to praise one player individually.

Sharing the post-match graphic posted by the club's official Instagram page, Mount wrote: "Butcherrr *knife emoji*," on his own story. The midfielder hasn't played for United since the Manchester derby win before Christmas.

Mount started in Amorim's midfield but lasted just 14 minutes before being forced off. He's since been forced to miss seven league games with a thigh injury - a problem the United boss claimed would see him miss "several weeks".

He is understood to be working hard on his rehabilitation behind the scenes and is making good progress. The fixture list eases for United over the next few weeks with Thursday night's trip to FCSB their last midweek game until the end of February.
