Sky Sports writer Florian Plettenberg claims that Manchester United is “pushing” to sign Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.

What recent transfer news have you heard about Man United?
Plettenberg recently stated that Man United are “monitoring” Leon Goretzka’s position at Bayern Munich in preparation for a possible summer raid, but the midfielder has made it clear that he wants to remain with the German club.

As a result, the Red Devils may continue to seek further targets, such as Mount and Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat, in whom they have lately shown a “serious” interest. According to transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano, Mount is “keen” to come to Old Trafford.

According to a recent update, a deal might be made for less than the £50 million that journalist James Ducker previously stated United were planning to offer for the 24-year-old player, with the Blues expected to want even more.

Plettenberg acknowledged Erik ten Hag’s interest in the Englishman on Twitter and clarified the cost Man United might expect to pay.

“Been told MUFC is pushing a lot,” the Sky Sports correspondent stated. He’s someone that the employers and Ten Hag both agree they want. Every member of the club believes in him.

In my opinion, he will choose between ManUtd and Liverpool. The price is now valued at between €45 and €50 million, including bonuses.

Mason Mount to Man United?
The Champions League will be played at Old Trafford next season, whilst Liverpool had to make do with the Europa League. This might give the Red Devils an edge as they compete with their bitter rivals for the England international.

Therefore, the Chelsea star’s transfer to Man United must be a highly alluring offer, and there is proof that he would be a valuable addition to the team, especially if he is only available for €45 million to €50 million (£38 million to £43 million).

The maestro, who was described as ‘outstanding’ by former Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel, is a highly skilled defender for an advanced midfielder, ranking in the 87th percentile for tackles finished per 90 over the last year.

While the midfielder’s performance in the Premier League last season dipped—he scored just three goals—he has previously shown that he is a significant threat on the attack, contributing to more goals than any other Chelsea player in the 2021–22 season.

It is encouraging news that Mount could be available for less than earlier rumours indicated. Mount would be a good addition to Ten Hag’s team.
