“Been told” – Sky Sports reporter says Man Utd are pushing to sign exceptional £43m star
Journalist Florian Plettenberg for Sky Sports claims that Manchester United is “pushing” to acquire Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.
What recent Man United transfer rumors are there?
Despite Plettenberg’s recent statement that Man United are “monitoring” the midfielder’s status at Bayern Munich in anticipation of a potential summer raid, Leon Goretzka has made it clear that he wants to stay at the German club.
The Red Devils may continue to chase Mount, who transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano claims is “keen” to join Old Trafford, and Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina. Both players have recently attracted their “serious” attention.
A further recent development raises the possibility that a deal might be struck for less money than the £50 million that United were going to offer the 24-year-old, according to journalist James Ducker.
Plettenberg explained the price Man United might anticipate paying on Twitter after stating that Erik ten Hag is interested in the Englishman.
The Sky Sports reporter said, “Reports say MUFC pushes hard.” According to both Ten Hag and the employers, he is highly coveted. Everyone in the group is convinced he is real.
“I have a feeling he’ll pick between Liverpool and ManUtd. Estimated price at this time: €45 to €50 million, bonuses included.
Mount Mason Would he join Man United?
Although Liverpool had to make do with the Europa League, the Champions League will be contested at Old Trafford the following season, providing the Red Devils a potential advantage in the race to sign England star Ashley Young.
It follows that the Chelsea star would find a move to Man United to be a very attractive possibility, and there is evidence that he would be a valuable addition to the team, especially if he is only demanding €45 million to €50 million (£38 million to £43 million).

The maestro is a highly intelligent defensive midfielder who sits in the 87th percentile for tackle completion rate per 90 over the past year and was dubbed “outstanding” by former Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel.
The midfielder struggled in the Premier League last season, scoring just three goals, but he has already made a name for himself as a genuine attacking threat, helping Chelsea score more goals in 2021–22 than any other player.
Mount would be a valuable addition to Ten Hag’s club, and it is heartening to think that he might be available for less money than earlier rumors suggested.
