Manchester United is reportedly in the race to secure the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea, potentially beating Arsenal to add him to their squad at the conclusion of this season.
Mount has expressed his desire to leave Chelsea, and Arsenal has shown interest in acquiring both him and his friend Declan Rice at the end of the campaign. However, other clubs are also vying for Mount’s signature, which could complicate Arsenal’s pursuit of the English international.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Manchester United is now keen on securing the midfielder and is actively pursuing a move for him. The report suggests that they might offload players such as Dean Henderson and Scott McTominay during the summer transfer window to generate funds for the potential signing.
Mount’s refusal to accept a new contract from Chelsea indicates his desire to seek opportunities elsewhere, and unless Arsenal intensifies its efforts, they may miss out on securing his signature. The competition for Mount’s services appears to be heating up, with Manchester United now emerging as a serious contender.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mount has been one of the finest midfielders in the Premier League in the last few seasons and the midfielder will do well for us.
However, our priority is to sign Rice and we need to seal that deal before thinking about another midfielder because we might struggle to afford both players.

He’s not a priority. We’ve got Vieira. Our priority should be Caicedo/Rice/Onana
Have we signed another player valled Viera.🤣
Called
You can have him, and do it early
Wouldn’t waste any sleep if MM goes to Manure. If the price was right, say 40M, he would be a useful squad player for Arsenal – a rotation player at best. Better alternatives should be available: James Maddison, for example.
Neither Mount nor his team mate Gallagher are as talented as Maddison or for that matter, Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace who I note has finally been recognised by the England Manager.
I’m surprised there’s not more noise around eze – Maybe it’s because of his injuries?
ESR, will be replaced by Tielemans or Maddison. Arsenal knows how much Tielemans wants. ESR will be replaced. I have been told, we will let him go for as little as 25 mil.
ESR going is sad reading to me
It is me but as long as we get a great replacement, he probably needs to go to a club where he can play and prove what he has got.
ESR IS GOING NOWHERE. I suspect this season was just used for him to recover completely from his injury. Will all the rest,vitamins, minerals & other suppliments he got this term, next season we will see a stronger player firing on all cylinders. The lad is too good to b moved on.
