Manchester United is reportedly gearing up to make a formal approach to Chelsea regarding the potential signing of talented midfielder Mason Mount.
Internal discussions within Manchester United continue to explore the feasibility of an offer, as they prioritize strengthening their midfield this summer.
With Mason Mount’s Chelsea contract set to expire in June 2024, Manchester United has been actively inquiring about the midfielder’s availability. Encouragement stems from Mount’s complicated situation at Stamford Bridge, giving United a glimmer of hope for a potential transfer.
Mount’s recent playing time has been limited due to a pelvic injury, which led to his absence from the field for the remainder of the season. Following Chelsea’s lackluster campaign, the 24-year-old seemed to be bidding farewell to his teammates after their final game, a disappointing 1-1 draw against Newcastle United.
A product of Chelsea’s esteemed academy, Mason Mount has already experienced significant success in his career. Since breaking into the senior team, he has lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy and the Club World Cup. Additionally, he has featured in three consecutive FA Cup finals and the team’s loss to Liverpool on penalties in last year’s League Cup final.
Mount’s international career has also been notable, having earned 36 caps for England. He notably started in the Euro 2020 final, where England faced a heartbreaking defeat against Italy.
As Manchester United looks to bolster their midfield options, Mason Mount emerges as a compelling target. With discussions ongoing, it remains to be seen if the Red Devils can secure the services of this talented midfielder and add him to their squad for the upcoming season.
