Manchester United make Mason Mount transfer decision after claims midfielder could be axed

Man Utd signed Mason Mount from Chelsea last summer and the midfielder endured a difficult first season at the club.

Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount is expected to stay at the club for the 2024/25 season.

United signed Mount from Chelsea for an initial £55million last summer and he made just five Premier League starts in a disappointing first season in Manchester.

United were questioned for signing Mount last summer because Bruno Fernandes is considered undroppable as the No.10 and Kobbie Mainoo was on the cusp of the first-team.

Mainoo became a consistent starter for United in the second half of the season and impressed for England at Euro 2024 while Mount was overlooked by the Three Lions again. Mount has not played for England since their World Cup quarter-final defeat to France in 2022.

There are also doubts about whether Mount is suited to a deeper midfield role after enjoying the most successful period of his career playing in a more prominent role.
