Erik ten Hag is planning for two early summer signings to ensure the players are ready to join Manchester United on their pre-season tour.
That’s according to The Athletic, which suggests that Mason Mount could be one of the first players through the doors of Carrington in the forthcoming transfer window.
The outlet was the first to confirm that Mount was swaying towards a move to United over the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, as both clubs had been actively monitoring the 24-year-old.
Personal terms between Mount and United have now reportedly been agreed upon. The only thing left to finalise is the fee that the Reds will pay Chelsea for their academy graduate, who has been at the club since he was six years old.
How United’s summer is shaping up
The second arrival remains to be seen. United, like in every transfer window, are being linked with a new player every day.
Latest reports include ties with Sofyan Amrabat, Kim Min-jae and Declan Rice.
United’s pre-season tour begins on July 12 in Norway against rivals Leeds United and given their recent relegation from the Premier League, it may be the last time the two clubs meet for a while.
The window opens on June 14, giving the board around a fortnight to oversee deals and integrate them into the squad.
I want Manchester United to sign world class players this summer
Man must sign players 1) that wants to play for the club not money and 2) players that for the playing profile of ETH (his game plan). We do need a very good striker and good back up in that department. A box 2 box midfielder that can also score and create goals. A CB not just back up but can compete in that position. I love the fight in Aaron (AWB) he fought and is now nr 1 RB. and a Goalie
Man united should apply for karim benzema now,no other season for us to enjoy next season too.
Manchester united should sign Mason Mount, Kim min jae, Rice, dejong, Armbat,firmbong. Timber, mussa diaby from Germany league and two goalkeeper and also two striker.
A proper center forward, A Center Attacking midfielder to replace Eriksen, A central defender to replace Maguire, and A goalkeeper to compete with DDG. Then some youngsters in..ones for the future.
United’s transfer would be a success
