MEETING KATH
Having worked at the club since 1968, Kath Phipps is a face many at Carrington have become accustomed to seeing day in, day out. Mason's wonderful first meeting served as a perfect heartwarming moment to begin the episode, with Kath's smile and energy embodying just what it means to work for our great club. Offering a warm welcome, we're sure Mason felt right at home from minute one at our base.

WINNING MENTALITY
A Champions League winner with Chelsea already, there are obvious reasons why Erik ten Hag has opted to bring in the former Chelsea man ahead of our upcoming 2023/24 campaign. His mantra for winning was already on show in the early knockings of the video, as he analysed United's honours on the wall. ''It's good to see these because I want few more of them,'' our new midfield man told the cameras, as he turned towards images of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League on the wall. A statement of intent, if anything.
MORE STAFF INTRODUCTIONS
Sharing a warm embrace with our kitchen staff at Carrington, Mason's cheeky smile continued to dominate as he continued with his introductions. ''Absolute legend,'' he echoed after spending time to those who matter just as much as anybody at the club. Building relationships and doing so with the upmost respect, we loved to see how the Three Lions international carried himself throughout.

REACTING TO THE NEW SHIRT
Going down as an instant hit, our brand-new shirt has drawn praise from first-teamers Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial already in the past few weeks. You can safely add Mason's name to that list, taking the time to analyse our newest release, he hints ''I didn't want to let go of it, I was trying to take this one home!''. Red shirt in hand, we loved to see his excitement when coming across the home jersey.
ENGAGING WITH THE FANS
With a select few supporters chosen to feature in Mount's signing shots, the former Chelsea man was classy as ever in spending time with each fan, chatting along the way. Offering gifts and even checking if one young fan had permission to skip school, his kindness is something we loved to see. Making memories that will no doubt stick with the chosen group at Carrington, the 24-year-old even handed out special gifts as a token of his appreciation.

A REUNION WITH LICHA
Once foes on the pitch - as we saw at Stamford Bridge last season - Lisandro Martinez was quick to welcome Mason to United, introducing himself to our no.7's family along the way. Sharing a quick word before heading off their separate ways, it's nice to see two once fierce rivals come together and we can't wait to see the pair out on the pitch at Old Trafford and beyond in the upcoming weeks.

'I have watched this video 120 times'

Fans are going wild for a clip of Martinez and Mount: the pair are becoming pals after going head-to-head last season.

A FAMILY MOMENT
It is no secret the levels of commitment many families are put through when watching their very own attempt to carve out a career within the beautiful game. Mount's family are no different, having watched their son rise through the Academy at Cobham, but there was a touching moment towards the end of the feature-length film that really stood out between our newest recruit and his father. ''Amazing, this is home, mate,'' says father Tony, as the pair pose for a photo inside the dressing room at Old Trafford.
