Manchester United successfully advanced to the 2025 Europa League final, and the most shining name among them is Mason Mount, who had just returned from injury.

It has been a challenging season for the 26-year-old midfielder. Since joining Manchester United, Mount has been plagued by injuries and his long absence has kept him out of the fans' sight. But Mount never gave up and continued to invest in rehabilitation training, finally breaking out in the second leg of the Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Manchester United was still in the lead in the aggregate and faced a fierce counterattack from the opponent. Coach Ruben Amorim decisively sent Mount, Luke Shaw and Amad on the bench. Just 10 minutes later, Mount successfully scored, tying the score to 1-1, completely disrupting the rhythm of Athletic Bilbao's counterattack.

After that goal, Casemiro and Rasmus Heilon scored to help Manchester United take the lead. In the final stoppage time, Mount made a decisive long shot and Manchester United ended the game 4-1. In the post-match interview, Mount said: "This period was really difficult."

"But I always kept a positive attitude and believed that good things would come, so I kept persisting. I thought at the time that if the ball came to my feet, I would control it and shoot it immediately. Seeing that the opponent's defender was far away, I tried decisively."

“Tonight means a lot to me. Finally scoring a goal at Old Trafford is the moment I’ve been waiting for. The fans have always supported us and we hope to finish the season strong.”
