Manchester United signed Mason Mount in 2023. The Red Devils paid a £55 million transfer fee to Chelsea, which could have reached £60 million through performance-related bonuses.
The England star picked the legendary number seven shirt at Old Trafford. However, his time at Manchester United have been marred by injuries.
In his first season for the club, he made only 20 appearances, scoring once and assisting once. The following year, he made only 27 appearances with 3 goals.
And, in the current season, Mount has made only 19 appearances, scoring three goals and assisting once. He has missed around 50 games for United in his career so far.
Also, since the arrival of Michael Carrick after the departure of Ruben Amorim, his chances have become more limited. And, United are eyeing a midfield overhaul next summer.
So, there is a possibility that they might look to move Mount on, as his contract will expire in 2028. Mason Mount is once again nearing a comeback after suffering an injury in training at the start of February.
Now, the former Chelsea star has attracted attention from multiple Premier League clubs. According to Football Insider, Aston Villa are eyeing a move for Mason Mount.
Unai Emery’s side is currently in third position in the Premier League. They are well on their way to securing Champions League football next season.
The Villans are six points clear of Chelsea, who are in fifth position in the league. Apart from the Birmingham-based club, Fulham are also showing interest in the Manchester United midfielder.
Now, with Casemiro already announcing that he will leave the club after his contract expires, it will be interesting to see whether United will sell their current number seven.
Also, Manuel Ugarte could leave next summer after attracting interest from multiple European clubs in January.
