KUALA LUMPUR: It doesn’t matter if it’s Old Trafford or the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil, anytime Mason Mount puts on the Manchester United jersey, it’s game time.

But the English footballer, who is in Kuala Lumpur for the Red Devils’ clash against the Asean All-Stars today, also wants to make the most out of his trip to Malaysia.

The squad had little time to rest after their final Premier League fixture against Aston Villa, having departed for Malaysia right after winning 2-0 at home.

“It was a quick turnaround after our last league match, it was straight on the plane after the game, but we are excited.

“We don’t get the opportunity to be over this side of the world and see our fans here very often, so we obviously want to make the most of it. We got off the plane and there were hundreds of people waiting to welcome us, it was amazing.

“I’m very excited to be over here and looking forward to the match,” he said during the pre-match press conference at the W Hotel here yesterday.

Mount is part of the 32-man squad named by head coach Ruben Amorim for their post-season tour, and will play against the Asean All-Stars at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.

After playing tonight, United will head to Hong Kong, where they take on the Hong Kong national team on Friday.

But although there is excitement, the 26-year-old Mount is taking things seriously as the trip to Asia is part of the gaffer’s plan to rebuild the squad.

“Anytime you put on that shirt and you’re representing the club, you want to perform to the best of your ability.

“We want to win the game and it’s going to be a competitive match against the Asean All-Stars, so we’re looking forward to it and we want to perform the best we can,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Asean All-Stars will be led by Pahang forward Sergio Aguero, and the Argentine-born is proud to play against the Red Devils.

“We are proud to play against a giant team like United. It’s a big responsibility and we will do out best.

“We welcome them here but we will try to win the game,” he said.
