Manchester United are interested in acquiring Mason Mount from Chelsea, who were unable to extend the player’s contract at Stamford Bridge.
As per the latest reports going on in the media, Man Utd are at the forefront to sign the former Derby County loanee in the next transfer window.
According to Football Insider, the Blues are willing to sell the England international after failing to reach an agreement on a new contract with him.
The Red Devils and their archrivals, Liverpool, are leading the chase for the 24-year-old, according to the media outlet.
According to reports, the Red Devils are eager to sign the talented player who has proven his worth in the Premier League and Europe.
Mount has won three major trophies for Chelsea, all under previous manager Thomas Tuchel, and he directly contributed to 29 goals for the Premier League giants last season.
Manchester United have a top-quality central attacking midfielder in Bruno Fernandes, but they lack a creative midfield star. Furthermore, Ten Hag must improve his wide attacking positions.
It should be noted that the Red Devils have yet to replace record-signing Paul Pogba. Big-money winger signings Sancho and Antony, on the other hand, have been highly inconsistent.
Mount would benefit from playing on the flanks as well as in the central/attacking midfield positions. According to reports, he could be enticed for between £60 and £70 million.
