Mason Mount might now be on his way to Manchester United, where Erik ten Hag is the manager, but the Chelsea midfielder was reportedly more interested in joining Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

LondonsFirst claims that Mason Mount’s “preferred option” before Manchester United and Chelsea came to an agreement for the midfielder during the summer transfer window was Liverpool.

The report states that Fewings was “known to have good connections inside Liverpool” and that “Liverpool was Mount’s preferred option.”

It is widely acknowledged that Manchester United offered the best financial package, and it’s possible that Liverpool ran into issues when trying to reach an agreement with Mount’s group. But this is only a theory.

According to a report from Sky Sports, United will initially pay Premier League foe Chelsea £55 million for Mount’s services.

Where would Mason Mount perform better, Liverpool or Manchester United?

We believe that Chelsea’s Mason Mount, a midfielder, could succeed at Manchester United just as he would have at Liverpool, if he were to move to Anfield.

Mount is a fantastic midfielder who hustles off the ball, is excellent, and is very dynamic.

The England international has a good passing range and can help the team advance.

Despite the fact that few Chelsea players had their best years, Mount did not have the best year in 2017.

Both Liverpool and Manchester United are substantial organisations with powerful international brands that play offensive, forward-thinking football.

We don’t think Mount is making a mistake by deciding to join United this summer rather than Liverpool.

Mount has taken part in 129 Premier League games over the course of his career.

The midfielder scored 27 goals and provided 22 assists in those games.
