Overview
- Reports that emerged on Sunday said Mason Mount had been offered to AC Milan and that coach Ruben Amorim had approved opening talks, with an alleged valuation near €25 million.
- AC Milan issued a clear public denial within hours, saying no contact was made with Mount’s representatives and calling the speculation unfounded.
- Multiple English outlets and United sources have since signalled that Manchester United are not planning to sell Mount this summer and regard him as part of their squad plans.
- Mount’s recurring injuries and limited starts since his 2023 move from Chelsea for about £55 million are central to the lower market valuations and the debate over whether United should keep him.
- With Mount under contract until 2028, the immediate watch point is his fitness and pre-season form at Carrington because that will shape whether United try to reintegrate him or revisit transfer options later.
