Paul Scholes has questioned whether Manchester United should sign Mason Mount this summer. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford since entering the final 12 months of his contract at Chelsea.
football.london understands that negotiations with Mount over a new deal have proven difficult thus far, with the proposed length of the extension and wage packet proving to be an issue. The England international is not among the top earners at Cobham despite racking up nearly 200 appearances for the club.
With Mauricio Pochettino expected to replace Frank Lampard in the coming weeks, football.london understands that the Argentine is an admirer of Mount and he could sway his decision. But, as it stands, Mount will become a free agent in June 2024 and, until then, he'll be available for a discounted price.
