Reports this week claimed club captain Bruno Fernandes wants to win the Premier League title and the Champions League, and he wants reassurances about the club’s ambitions before signing a new deal.
The Red Devils have gone over a decade without a league title and have suffered immensely since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
Mount is nearing the conclusion of his third campaign at Old Trafford, a period marked by injuries and constant setbacks as he slowly returns from injury.
As he makes his way back into the side, the 27-year-old was asked this week about his own ambitions and whether he believes United can challenge for the title next season.
"I think we have the quality to. I have a goal of winning the Premier League. Obviously I’ve won the Champions League already, but can we do that? Yes, I think we can as a group. We have to have that kind of mentality.
"It may seem a little bit far away, but you have to have that mentality to really push yourself as a group. We've shown what we can do against the big teams already; Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, you know.
"We've already shown that this season, so we definitely can do it. It's about now doing it on a bigger stage in the Champions League and doing it more consistently in the Premier League. Hopefully, be a massive part of that moving forward next season. Yeah, it's a goal: I want to win the Premier League."
The England star recently made his comeback from injury as a substitute in Monday’s 2-1 victory over Brentford. As United build a title worthy squad for next season, he could become key to their midfield restructure under manager Michael Carrick.
