Mount has been the main talking point over the last month as it is clear that Erik ten Hag always wanted him. After some difficult negotiations with Chelsea, it would appear the Red Devils have their man. Expect further updates in due course.
Manchester United transfer news – Marcus Rashford close to contract extension
Another reason for fans to be joyful today is that Marcus Rashford is very close to extending his contract. According to Caught Offside (via TEAMTALK), the contract extension is not yet finalised but talks are in the advanced stage. From the club’s perspective, this would feel like a “new signing” as they were aware of interest from Paris Saint-Germain and the like.
Manchester United transfer news – Rasmus Hojlund second bid expected
Yesterday, United had a £30m bid for wonderkid Rasmus Hojlund rejected. However, Corriere dello Sport has revealed that the bid was actually close to Atalanta’s asking price, since they only want between £34m and £39m for the goal machine.
From United’s perspective, they will surely bid again. After securing Mason Mount, their attention must now turn to an out-and-out striker.
