Mason Mount Set to Join Manchester United
Manchester United have finally reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign England midfielder Mason Mount. The transfer fee is believed to be an initial fee of £55m plus £5m in difficult add-ons.
Erik ten Hag had identified Mount as one of his top summer targets several months ago but United had been struggling to strike a deal with Chelsea. United had a third bid worth £55m rejected last week and were reportedly looking at other targets as they disagreed with Chelsea’s £70m valuation.
Mount’s Career at Chelsea
Mount has made 195 appearances for Chelsea and has 36 caps for England. He made his debut for Chelsea in 2018 and has since become a regular starter for the club. He has scored 18 goals and provided 13 assists in all competitions for the Blues.
Mount has also been a regular for the England national team, making his debut in 2019 and scoring two goals in 11 appearances. He was part of the England squad that reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League in 2019.
What Does Mount Bring to Manchester United?
Mount is a versatile midfielder who can play in a variety of positions. He is known for his passing ability, vision, and ability to create chances. He is also a hard-working player who is willing to press and track back when needed.
Mount will add more creativity to United’s midfield and will provide competition for places in the starting XI. He will also bring some much-needed energy and enthusiasm to the team and could be a key player for United in the coming years.
