Hurt at Europa League defeat lingered - Mount

Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount says the pain of last season's Europa League final defeat by Tottenham lingered well into the summer.

Mount started the final in Bilbao but, like many of his team-mates, failed to have a significant impact on the game as Spurs won thanks to a deflected Brennan Johnson effort.

The result condemned United to only their second season without European football in 35 years following their 15th-placed Premier League finish, their worst performance since the 1973-74 relegation campaign.

"It took some time, that's for sure," said Mount, speaking at the club's pre-season training camp in Chicago.

"You're just thinking about little things in the game. I started, so it was like: 'What could I have done in that situation?' Or: 'Could I have made that pass better?'

"You would drive yourself crazy, looking into loads of detail, but it hurts. The whole season hurt."
