Many reputable sources confirm that Man United is very close to Mason Mount. The English midfielder refused to sign a new contract with Chelsea. This season, Mount is often friends with the bench because of constant injuries and erratic form.
On the side of Man United, the Manchester team considers the 24-year-old midfielder as a quality addition to the midfield. In the context of the future of Fred, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek is uncertain; Coach Erik ten Hag needs a top-class central midfielder.
Former player Gary Neville said that the qualities where Mount scored strong points with Ten Hag. Sharing on Sky Sports, Neville made a point:

Mount is a target for Man United.
“Mason Mount is the coach’s player. That’s the right description of him. I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs in my career at the top, I’ve seen a lot of things happen in football. There are a lot of players who get it. respect and appreciation from the staff, despite the fans not being too impressed with them.”
“Their impact is to bring teammates together. They know when to fill the space. They know the right time to press, press, recover the ball and organize the counter-attack.”
“I’m not surprised when Mount is on United’s radar. Ten Hag wants the home team to control the ball better. He often leaves Fred – McTominay out of the starting line-up. Ten Hag prefers to use more technical midfielders. Mount is a technical player, always ready to play.”
