Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes Manchester United would be better off pursuing a move for West Ham United midfield ace Declan Rice instead of Mason Mount this summer.
As revealed by the Manchester Evening News almost a fortnight ago, United have agreed personal terms with Mount ahead of a proposed summer switch to Old Trafford, but are yet to reach an agreement with Chelsea over a transfer fee. Reds manager Erik ten Hag wants to strengthen his midfield options this summer with the addition of a younger operator.
Mount, who is out of contract at Stamford Bridge next summer, wants to leave Chelsea and Ten Hag has identified him as a suitable candidate to strengthen the Reds' midfield. He wants to add a freshness to that area of the team and he believes the 24-year-old is an ideal fit.
