Man Utd lost 2-1 to Arsenal in a pre-season friendly in Los Angeles but Erik ten Hag's side were competitive in the first half and two midfielders played well.
If American club owners and political figures get their way then at some point Premier League teams meeting across the Atlantic will move from being pre-season tune-ups to all about the points.
On a slow pitch there were more fouls than anyone expected from a friendly between two sides who played the same fixture in New Jersey a year ago. This time the stakes seemed to have been raised and Mikel Arteta was furious at some of the challenges dished out on his players in the first half. Mount has probably been United's best player of the summer and the £55m midfielder is beginning to build up a head of steam heading into his second season at the club. He was bright again against the Gunners, this time operating in a more advanced role.
The decision to start him against Arsenal in a more experienced first-half team, ahead of Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen, bore hallmarks of the call to start Kobbie Mainoo against Real Madrid in Houston a year ago.
