Despite a challenging year marked by injuries and a dip in form, Manchester United remains committed to retaining Mason Mount, the midfielder acquired from Chelsea for £55 million. According to GIVEMESPORT, the club has no intention of parting with the 25-year-old, who has been sidelined since November and has yet to make a significant impact at Old Trafford.
Mount’s inaugural season with the Red Devils has seen him contribute just one assist in 12 appearances, a statistic that falls short of expectations, especially considering his lack of goal contributions in eight Premier League matches. His versatility across midfield positions has not yet translated into a stable performance.
Amidst changes at Manchester United, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s acquisition of a significant stake in the club, Mount is not expected to be on the list of players exiting during the planned squad revamp. The sentiment within the club is hopeful, viewing Mount as a potentially shrewd long-term investment, thus securing his immediate future with the team.
Mount’s prior achievements, including 137 Premier League appearances, 27 goals, and 24 assists, have established him as a creative force in midfield, a role many believe to be his most effective. Despite the current season’s setbacks, Manchester United’s faith in his abilities remains steadfast.
