Fabrizio Romano has shared an exclusive update on the potential transfer of Mason Mount to Manchester United.
The Italian transfer expert, in his column on CaughtOffside, highlighted the crucial role played by manager Erik ten Hag in facilitating the move, as the Dutchman views the Chelsea midfielder as a perfect fit for his tactical system.
Romano also indicated that Mauricio Pochettino had expressed a desire to retain the Englan international at Stamford Bridge.
However, it appears that Pochettino's arrival in London came too late to significantly impact the player's decision.
“Mason Mount’s transfer to Manchester United is almost complete, it’s just matter of time for the announcement.
“His medical was good from what I heard, so we wait for the club now. Erik ten Hag has been crucial to this deal, but overall I’d say this was the perfect feeling: Mount wanted United and Ten Hag wanted a player with that kind of desire, apart of his great skills of course. So, it’s a perfect match. Ten Hag is sure that he’s the perfect midfielder for his tactical idea."
