Mason Mount is one of the most sought-after midfielders in the world right now, and two of the biggest clubs in England, Manchester United and Liverpool, are in a race to sign him. Liverpool had initially shown a lot of interest in Mount, with Jurgen Klopp looking to inject more energy into his midfield. However, the Athletic report that Liverpool have now pulled out of the race due to Chelsea's £70m valuation of Mount, which is almost double of what Brighton have charged for Alexis Mac Allister.
Manchester United are now leading the race to sign Mount and it seems that the 24-year-old is keen on a move to Old Trafford over Anfield. Erik ten Hag wants to sign a younger upgrade on Christian Eriksen, but United won't meet Chelsea's asking price. The Red Devils are likely to test the water with a bid of around £50m for the England international.
It remains to be seen if Manchester United can secure the signature of Mason Mount. If they manage to do so, it will certainly be a big boost for the Red Devils as they look to bridge the gap with their rivals, Manchester City.
