Next summer, Manchester United will certainly experience a busy transfer window with a series of important squad upgrade plans. Besides recruiting a top-class central striker, coach Erik Ten Hag also wants to strengthen many other positions on the field.

The Telegraph confirmed, in an effort to upgrade the midfield, Ten Hag has targeted Mason Mount as his priority target. As for Chelsea, they are said to be ready to sell the English midfielder next summer, to avoid the prospect of losing this star after a year.

Ten Hag wants Mason Mount.

Sure, many Man Utd fans didn’t expect Mount to be identified as a priority target for the club again, but they still need to trust Ten Hag’s human eye. In general, the expensive contracts signed by the Dutch strategist have brought a specific impact to the Old Trafford team.

It will not be necessary to say more about the great contributions of Casemiro or Lisandro Martinez, and with Antony, although it has not met expectations, the Brazilian star has more or less demonstrated the value of a right-wing striker. Premier League top. Therefore, Man Utd fans have every reason to believe that Mount will not be a failed signing.

Like most players from Chelsea’s Apprenticeship, Mount also spent a long time away from Stamford Bridge to play on loan. In particular, he once made a strong impression when wearing Vitesse Arnhem, scoring 14 goals and contributing 10 assists after 39 matches. Here, Mount caught the eye of Ten Hag.

Ten Hag has been targeting Mount for a long time.

The Evening Standard reports that Ten Hag has long recognized Mount’s talent through his performances in the Netherlands . It is known that Ten Hag was especially impressed with Mount after a match in 2017, when Vitesse clashed with Utrecht he led. At that time, Mount shone after coming on from the bench with 1 goal, setting the final score 1-1.

In December 2017, Ten Hag was appointed captain of Ajax Amsterdam, and he even asked to borrow Mount for the 2018/19 season. However, in the end, Chelsea did not approve the move, but since then, Ten Hag is said to have always watched the 24-year-old midfielder’s development.

Mount stands at the prospect of landing at Old Trafford.

After 6 years, Ten Hag once again faced the opportunity to recruit Mount , but not just a loan deal. According to reports from the British media, an offer of 55 million pounds will help the Dutch strategist get the long-term service of this star. For a player with only 12 months remaining on his contract, this is obviously not a cheap figure. But surely, the person who has been followed by Ten Hag for 6 years will not be an ordinary player.
