Manchester United on the Trail of Exciting Chelsea Lad As Ten Hag Monitors Contract Situation

• Mason Mount is on the radar of Manchester United and the youngster could be heading to the Old Trafford club
• Despite being the best player at the club for a second season, it was gathered that Mount is one of the lowest-paid Chelsea players
• Following the managerial debacle that plagued Chelsea in recent weeks, Mount’s contract talks with the club have stalled

English Premier League outfit Manchester United are said to be monitoring Mason Mount’s situation at the Stamford Bridge as they hope to sign the Chelsea youngster.

Following the recent managerial crisis at the London club, Mount’s contract talks have stalled and United will hope to take advantage.

It was gathered that United's new boss Ten Hag is aware of the player’s situation - as the central midfielder impressed him as a teenager while on loan with Vitesse Arnheim in Holland.

Since then, United have tracked his progress and if there is any opportunity, Mount would be tempted to the North West.

He still has two years left on his £88,000-a-week existing deal.

However, he had stated that he will look forward to achieving more with the London club. He told Sky Sports via Daily Mail:

“It’s an exciting time now with the owners being confirmed, going forward it’s going to be exciting.

“The era under Roman [Abramovich] has been brilliant, now we look forward. It’s exciting stuff, can’t wait to get back to it.”
