Even on a free I am so massively underwhelmed.
Instead of signing Mason Mount, my preference would be to sign a good player.
Ten Hag probably found out he played in the Eredivisie once
Orny with the unhorniest of news.
60M for a Bruno backup would be rather steep...
Sigh. I’ve spent the last few years shitting on Mason Mount. Not sure I can turn that around if he joins.
Mount was great in a Champions League final.
Sancho was rampant in his final season in Germany.
I don’t know how high you set your bar.
I’d laugh at another club for spending big on him. Pay the extra and get caicedo ffs.
Would be a bad signing I think.
Then again he played for vitesse so ETH must remember him from then

I actually think it would be a good signing for United. Mount has always been a very disciplined player and I feel that top managers always want players who they can rely on to follow the plans
Hottest links so far have been to a CB who plays on the left side, a right back, and now a pseudo no.10/8. Really got to wonder what the hell the priority list is looking like for positions
To be fair I doubt Mount is seen as a cheap Caicedo alternative, they're nothing alike?
Thought about it and I agree. That makes sense.
He’s going to play next to Casemiro so why not? 50+m for a back up to Bruno would be even crazier.
Rather Rabiot
That was the argument for Southgate continually including him. At some point it was realised that "following instructions" seemed to be an alternate description for "doing absolutely feck all of note."
Hard to get excited about this one. At some point I may be able to convince myself he could have a use. He can run can't he. Plus he was okay for Chelsea in previous years.

That fee is absolutely bonkers when he hasn't featured for them all season long...
I do like that he’s achieved a lot already yet is still only 24. Managers love him.
Would he play in a midfield three? How do you fit Bruno and Mount into a team together?
Mason would be a decent squad option for us, but before we spend gobs on him I'd like to be sure that we've given our young attacking midfielders a proper chance to break into the first team.
Wait I thought he was out of contract, we're actually paying money for him?! 
that supposed fee is grotesque.
that supposed fee is grotesque.Think we’ll get both.
Ratcliff already putting his brexit hands on the club
Paying more than 50m for Mason Mount with a year left on his contract would be absolutely crazy.
I also don't get Ten Hag changing his obsession from De Jong to this type of midfielder.

Between the English/PL tax and our more urgent needs elsewhere, I struggle to make sense of this if we really are pursuing it.
He'd be a much more obvious fit for Liverpool

There's a chance this is his agent's work. His preference is probably to remain at Chelsea if they pay him what he thinks he is entitled to. What better club to link your client to than United.
Maybe I am just being hopeful.
Chelsea probably want rid. He hasn't been amazing and it would be great for their finances.

this makes no sense, let alone for 80m. JFC.

De Jong is pretty unique as a player to be fair.
Especially when Bruno always plays.
Going to help us MOUNT that title challenge
1 year leftWait I thought he was out of contract, we're actually paying money for him?!
It would be just like us to waste money on a player who wouldn’t improve the team at all, will be Sancho and Antony all over again.
I'd be against him coming even if it was on a free transfer... this can't be true
Hope he gets a nice welcome tomorrow I suppose.
Hurdles, ey?
Or would you say that it's a high mountain to climb? Perhaps the price is a little steep? These talks will hopeefully amount to nothing.
feck it, I'm in. Welcome Mason
I actually like Mount but I don't know what's more laughable, paying 50M for him or Chelsea wanting 100M for a player with a year left on his contract.
Wow. Awful. Qatar wouldn't stand for this.
