Manchester United have made their stance on Mason Mount clear amidst interest from Premier League counterparts.
Mason Mount could potentially leave Manchester United this summer with two Premier League sides reportedly monitoring his situation.
Mount’s time at United has been riddled by injuries and the midfielder has therefore struggled to find any kind of consistency since moving to Old Trafford in 2023.
The midfielder has shown glimpses of quality and played an important role when fit, but his time at Old Trafford has been majorly affected by injuries.
In his two-and-a-half years at United, he has played 1,953 minutes of Premier League football, a mere 21,7 full 90s.
Mount seemed to have found his groove earlier in the season under Ruben Amorim, scoring goals against Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Wolves, but United’s no.7 has been sidelined since for over a month with an unspecified injury.
United have no intention of letting Mount go
According to Football Insider, Manchester United have no intention of letting Mount go in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Former United chief scout Mick Brown has claimed that Aston Villa and Fulham are both chasing a deal for Mount, but sources say that it will be difficult for either club to sign him this summer.
While it’s not impossible that United would sanction a move for Mount, Football Insider report that it would likely take a significant offer for the Reds to consider parting ways with the former Chelsea midfielder.

United should let Mount go if offers arrive
Mount is an outstanding footballer. In the high-press and off-the-ball, there are few midfielders in Europe as good as him. On-the-ball, he hasn’t produced many memorable moments in a United shirt but he is creative and can score goals.

That being said, his time at United has been riddled by injuries and there are no indications of anything changing on that front.
Various reports claim that Mount earns somewhere in the region of £250,000-a-week, a significant amount of money for a player who is rarely available.
The longer United keep Mount, the more his value will continue to drop due to his lack of availability. If an offer of around £30 million comes in this summer, United would be foolish to not take it.
