Mason Mount shows true Manchester United colours in three-word Noussair Mazraoui message
Mason Mount has heralded Manchester United teammate Noussair Mazraoui following his display in their 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt.
United earned their second Europa League win of the campaign but had to come from behind against the Norwegian minnows. Alejandro Garnacho had put United in front after another early goal under Ruben Amorim, but the visitors fought back and found themselves in front after two goals in four minutes.
Rasmus Hojlund's double swung the game back in United's favour to push them up the Europa League standings and give Amorim his first win at Old Trafford. Mazraoui played an important role in the win, providing the assist for the Dane's first goal of the evening on the stroke of half-time.

His performance earned him rave reviews and on his Instagram post, Mount lauded the summer signing. He commented: "What a player."
The new United head coach was also in agreement over the quality of the 27-year-old's display at Old Trafford on Thursday. He said: "He’s an incredible player, he’s our future.
"He played in different positions, he looks always fresh, but we have to be careful. There’s a lot of games, but he’s here to stay. This kind of player is what we need."
There is a quick turnaround for Amorim and his side as he takes charge of his second Premier League encounter when Everton make the short trip across the north west on Sunday (1:30pm kick-off). United will be looking to apply pressure on the European positions as they sit six points off the top four.
