[Fabrizio Romano] Mason Mount, undergoing medical tests at Carrington right now as expected — then he will sign until June 2028 with an option until June 2029.
As United fans we don't get that many good news with all the drama around Glazers, problematic players and transfer sagas. So I just allow myself to be happy about him joining and I hope he will smash it.
I'm really glad to see we got him over the line before preseason. Hope we get a GK and Striker in ASAP too.
We struggled immensely at the beginning last year because we made our transfers very, very late into the window. Including when the season had officially kicked off.
I'm not a United fan so correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't that been a theme for ages for you? When was the last time you made your signings early in the window? Mourinho's first summer with Zlatan et al maybe?
I think he will do well. Not a player to build your midfield around but a strong all-rounder who's tactically sharp and a great presser. Home grown too.
It surprises me a little you haven't pushed harder for Caicedo, but maybe FFP makes it too hard to get over the line? Getting a backup/long term replacement for Casemiro has to be pretty crucial, I would have thought.
