Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is confident of Mason Mount proving himself.
Mount only has managed one assist this season.
The Dutchman told United's official website: "He can be a big part [of what we are creating here].
"He can play in that game by supplying, making the connections, making the link-ups for those in the front line.
"He has abilities to give that [energy] and to supply our front players by combinations."
Ten Hag also said: "Also, in his moments of defence transition, in defending and pressing he can be and he is already a great player for us because he puts a lot of effort in.
"When we get better connections [in the team], that will grow."
