Artisan Mount: What can Manchester United expect from the England midfielder?

Joined completed third in the Chief Association and keeping in mind that Ten Witch has focused on another striker this late spring, Mount's capacity to work in cutting edge positions is perceived to have made him an appealing choice for the club.

With the Blues, he also won the Fifa Club World Cup and the Uefa Super Cup. He has been covered multiple times by Britain, scoring five objectives, and was important for Gareth Southgate's crew for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

A player who had made it abundantly clear that they wanted to leave and could have done for nothing in a year given that he had no intention of signing a contract extension has been given a guaranteed £55 million by Chelsea.

Because the additional £5 million payments are only triggered by multiple major trophy victories over a number of seasons, United, on the other hand, believe they have drawn a line with what was referred to as their "final" offer last week.

Ten Hag clearly appreciates Mount's adaptability, but he sees him primarily as an attacking midfielder, putting him in direct competition with Christian Eriksen.

As the 31-year-old Dane's influence tended to wane in the second half of games, this will not be viewed negatively by many. Mount's appearance likewise brings up issue marks over the fates of Fred and Scott McTominay.

Fred could leave United for Fulham, and the 30-year-old Brazilian is open to offers. The situation of McTominay is more complicated.
