Manchester United‘s pursuit of Mason Mount appears to be heating up, with Erik ten Hag’s side now having reportedly agreed personal terms with the “unbelievable” midfielder.
Most recently, Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has sent a transfer Message to United with his comment on a post on Instagram that aggregated the news of Mount’s agreement with United.

United Looking to Sign the English Midfielder
This summer, it is clear that one of Erik ten Hag’s priorities is to complete the signing of Mount.
The same reports saying that personal terms have been agreed claim that the transfer is now expected to happen, and indeed Thiago Silva’s Instagram comment seems to indicate this as well.
If the deal really is as close as it seems – with the agreement over a fee seemingly all that is left before it is completed – then this represents a major improvement in how United are conducting their transfer business.

Last summer, the Red Devils were embroiled in a transfer saga involving Frenkie de Jong which lasted virtually the entire summer, with United ending up opting to sign the now undroppable Casemiro as an alternative.
This lengthy process meant that when the 2022/23 season started, United were still lining up with Scott McTominay and Fred as their double pivot in midfield, while there was only one signing for whom they had paid a transfer fee in the lineup (Lisandro Martinez).
It seems that United have now vowed not to make the same mistake again and are sensibly trying to conduct their transfer business early such that their new signings can have time to integrate themselves into the squad during preseason before getting started next campaign.
