Chelsea star Mason Mount has officially joined Manchester United, for a reported fee of £60million, and after a successful medicals.
According to the report by Fabrizio, Chelsea star Mason Mount and his entourage arrived at Manchester United on Monday for his medical, and he has signed a contract with Manchester United that would see him as one of the top earners at the club.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United are yet to officially release statements confirming the departure and arrival of the Chelsea star Mason Mount.
The England midfielder appeared at United’s Carrington training facility with the Red Devils at last set to secure the Chelsea star’s services.
The player and a few members of his entourage were spotted arriving at the facility in a Mercedes early on Monday morning, entering through the back gate.
With an initial £55m figure, followed by £5m in add-ons, at last agreed between the rivals after weeks of negotiations and rejected advances, the player completed his medical on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old is believed to be set to put pen to paper over terms at Old Trafford, signing a five-contract worth £250,000-a-week with the option of another year.
And he appears set to arrive at the perfect time for Ten Hag and Co, who are due to begin their pre-season training in earnest with a friendly against rivals Leeds next week.
As such, Mount could make his debut for his new club, although he will be some way from the theatre of dreams, with the game, in fact, taking place in Oslo, Norway.
The English star arrives at United on the back of a trying 2022-23 season with Chelsea, in which he struggled for both form and fitness.
He made just 35 appearances in all competitions for the Blues, scoring three times and providing six assists as Chelsea fell short of expectations.
In total he missed 13 games of the campaign as he struggled to overcome a pelvic issue that ruled him out of the end of the season under Frank Lampard.
But despite his underwhelming displays last term, United were keen to land their target, and he looks set to replace Christian Eriksen in the side with his ability to play through the middle or even out wide.
Mount will also bring energy and a deadly right foot from dead ball situations as Ten Hag’s side look to improve on their third-place finish in the Premier League last season.
