Mason Mount determined to stay at Manchester United amid interest

Mason Mount is determined to salvage his Manchester United career and has no intention of forcing an exit this summer. The midfielder remains committed to proving his technical quality at Old Trafford after a spell blighted by recurring injury issues, and is prioritising his fitness to remain available for selection for the remainder of the campaign.

Last week interest from Aston Villa and Fulham emerged, with Unai Emery and Marco Silva keen on adding the 27-year-old’s creativity. Mount feels unlucky with his injuries and wants to continue fighting for his place, which may mean suitors have to look elsewhere as United’s summer plans begin to take shape.

United invested £55 million ($70 million) to sign Mount from Chelsea in 2023, but the transfer has yet to yield consistent returns. The 2025-26 season followed a disappointing pattern: he has made just 17 Premier League appearances after a previous campaign in which he played 23 games in all competitions.
