Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell have been enjoying the sun in Barcelona this weekend with the F1 2023 Spanish Grand Prix well underway
Verstappen will start ahead of local hero and teammate Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris on the grid tomorrow afternoon. The Dutchman will be hoping that Mount - and Chilwell - can continue to be a lucky charm after previously visiting the team's garage.
While supporters may be excited by the rumours flying around, Jamie Carragher has questioned the timing of reports which claim that Mount is close to joining United. The former Liverpool defender tweeted: "Clubs normally feed information about a potential signing after a defeat to lift their supporters & change the narrative. Man United have fed the Mason Mount deal before the Cup Final, are their supporters that fearful & negative about today?!!"
Meanwhile, Paul Merson has slammed Chelsea for letting Mount go. Speaking on Sky Sports, the former Arsenal midfielder said: "I cannot believe Chelsea are letting Mason Mount go. We saw it last season with Antonio Rudiger, who was outstanding and one of the best defenders at the club.
"He asked for more money and they didn’t give him it and then they buy Kalidou Koulibaly for £33m on a four-year contract which works out as more money than what they’d give Rudiger. Now they’re doing it with Mount.
"He’s one of their own, he hasn’t had a very good season but they’re judging it just on one season. The year before he was Chelsea’s best player. He was one of the first names on the teamsheet for England. Now they’re letting him go. It’s mind-blowing.
"They’ll bring someone in who will probably take another year to get used to the league because they will have played abroad. You’re also letting a very good footballer go to Manchester United or Liverpool, who Chelsea are fighting with to get into the top four next season.
"You couldn’t write it. How can you let him go to a club that could majorly haunt you? United won’t believe their luck if they get him."

Why should you guys letting him go and you will regret it one day, because Mason Mount is a great player and try to give him what he want and if you don’t have what he is requesting for, but you’ll get money to buy another player and the players you bought from January, what did they do for the club?
