Manchester United make Mason Mount transfer decision after claims midfielder could be axed
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester United midfielder Mason Mount is expected to stay at the club for the 2024/25 season. United signed Mount from Chelsea for an initial £55million last summer and he made just five Premier League starts in a disappointing first season in Manchester.
The 25-year-old was brought to Old Trafford to play a deeper midfield role, but he picked up an injury in his second game for United and sustained a different calf issue in November.
