Manchester United’s Mason Mount Not for Sale as Red Devils Target Big Things
A month ago, the narrative surrounding Mason Mount’s future at Old Trafford was all about sales. Rumors linked the attacking midfielder to a trio of Premier League clubs – Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United – as Manchester United seemed keen to offload the 25-year-old. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has issued a statement to silence all doubters: Mount is safe.
From Struggling to Star
The English midfielder had a tough time adjusting to life at United in his maiden season. A calf injury kept him on the sidelines for most of the 2023-2024 campaign, resulting in just 14 Premier League appearances and a solitary goal to his name. These numbers must have raised eyebrows, leaving some to wonder whether the £60 million (including add-ons) tag attached to him was justified. However, Romano’s update will have United fans breathing a sigh of relief.
Ready to Roll
Mount himself is thrilled about the prospect of rediscovering his A-game under Erik ten Hag’s tutelage. After a tough rookie year, he’s poised to bounce back strongly, and Romano asserts that United have no plans to part with the midfielder. We can confidently predict that Mount will feature prominently for the Red Devils this season. This should come as music to the ears of United fans, who want to see their team dominate the Prem once more.
Injury Worries
Prior to arriving at United, Mount had no serious injury issues during his six years at Chelsea. It’s evident that a calf injury has already set him back this season. Considering United’s injury concerns last season, this could have been a double whammy. Given Mount’s history, we won’t be too concerned. Yet, it’s essential for fans to monitor his fitness closely, making sure he can maintain that Chelsea form.
Expectations Elevated
Romano’s announcement will reinvigorate expectations around the fanbase. United will be confident of a more resurgent second season from Mount, and subsequently, the squad as a whole. For fans who have taken the gamble on signing up early for the 2023-2024 Red Devils season tickets, this boost can only add to the hype. Excitement surrounding Mount, Ten Hag’s arrival, and Marcus Rashford’s resurgence (after what looks like a transformative summer for the Manchester United icon) points toward a thrilling new chapter for the faithful.
