United are set to pay £60 million including add-ons for Mount,Sky Sportsɾєρօɾτ.
And in a segment viaESPN FC, the incoming signing has been tipped as the best signing of all the midfielders joining new clubs this summer so far.
Mason Mount better than Kai Havertz and James Maddison
Mason Mount’s England international teammate James Maddison recently joined Tottenham in a£40 millionԀєɑł.
His former Chelsea teammate Kai Havertz has made the switch to Arsenal, a move costing the Gunners£65 million.
Asked who is the best signing of the trio, pundit Steve Nicol toldESPN FCthat Manchester United are getting the superior Ԁєɑł.
He explained: “Somebody can always say he didn’t have a good season last year, that is correct, coupled with ιɴjυɾу, he needed a break as well, butthree of the last four years he’s been arguably Chelsea’s best player going forward.
“So I think as a coach I know what I’m going to get from Mount. If he’s fit, if he’s ready in the right place mentally and physically, you know what you are getting.”
Mount’s consistency should be an asset for Manchester United, where he is expected to be a regular starter underErik ten Hag.
Discussing Maddison and Havertz, Nicol commented: “The other two it startsgoing downhill a little bit.
“Maddison when the going gets tough he disappears, Havertz I’m not quitesure what he’s going to give Arsenal, because he hasn’t given Chelsea anything the last season. Does he play at Arsenal, does he start? I don’t think so.”
United take on Arsenalin pre-season, and then early into the2023/24 campaign, with the Red Devils visiting the Emirates in the fourth game week of the season.
