Gary Neville and Paul Scholes disagree on Mason Mount amid Man United transfer links

Paul Scholes admits he's been disappointed by Mason Mount's lack of goals in recent seasons at Chelsea, though Gary Neville does not believe the reported Manchester United target should necessarily be judged on how many goals he scores each season.

Mount's future at Chelsea is becoming increasingly uncertain, with the 24-year-old set to enter the final 12 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge. Talks over a fresh deal have been ongoing for some time, but a lack of progress and growing frustration could see time called on an 18-year spell with the club.

United are in the market for a midfielder, with Erik ten Hag keen to add more technical quality in that area of the pitch. Last summer's failed pursuit of Frenkie de Jong hints at the calibre of player wanted by the Dutchman, with a similar type of player on this summer's shopping list.
