Chelsea transfer news: Mason Mount could be set to make a move to Manchester United this summer, but has been met with a warning over a deal
There is currently no progress being made on a new deal with the midfielder, with an exit looking the most likely outcome. However, there is still a difference between the valuation set by Chelsea and United in any potential transfer, despite personal terms already being agreed.
Two bids were rejected by the Blues as football.london understood that the west London outfit held a firm stance on their £70million valuation. The Red Devils came in with a third and final offer for the 24-year-old at £55million, which was countered by Chelsea with a £65million deal.
However, there remains questions over whether Old Trafford would be the best destination for Mount, with plenty of other teams also interested in a move. While Erik ten Hag's introduction has seen the side competing near the top end again, with the prospect of trophies, there are questions over their ability to work in the transfer market.
One of the latest examples has been a U-turn on goalkeeper De Gea; the Athletic reports that a new contract had been agreed with the Spaniard on reduced wages, but the club decided against signing it, and are subsequently offering an even further reduced wage to the 32-year-old. It leaves the shot-stopper in a situation where either a new deal will have to be agreed again or an exit is on the cards this summer.
For many fans, this was unacceptable to a player they hold in such high regard, despite his recent troubles with performances. Many took to social media to vent their fury.
@diceybaby100: "What a joke."
@AidanWalshMUFC: "Honestly the way the club have handled this De Gea situation is horrendous. Does he need to leave? Yes. But deal with it properly and give him some respect."
@ebubechi_nwosu: "That's bad treatment from the club."
@DeanCla65257372: "That’s not the way to treat a long servant at the club. Whether he is good enough for us as we move forward is a different matter. Feels like a United disjointed approach."
@GregTho10581917: "Ridiculous treatment. He's a legend of the club for god's sake."
@dipsMUFC: "What a horrible way to treat a long-serving employee. This club is a shambles when it comes to handling matters like this #MUFC."
It remains to be seen whether this type of situation may reflect poorly on United for those looking to make the switch this summer, such as Mount.

believe me, u are a disease,are u sure u know who is De Gea? people like you argue that Maguire deserve to be best defender,u always commit blunder, what have you been smoking? calamity, anyone that said De Gea has done nothing, deserve to b brought outside and shot on the face, animal
Ok first lets talk about De Gea's strength - Good Reflexes which makes him one of the best short stoppers in the world, aerial game massively in order to fend off the more physically imposing players of the EPL, weakness - apparent physical inferiority tall skinny and lanky - lack of physical presence in the box with inability to impose himself around the penalty area. - poor ball distribution which makes it difficult for the team to build possession and start attack from the back - the worst at cross claiming and. sweeping. - inability to save penalty, in Five years de Gea faced 40 penalties and fail fail to save even one during shoot out so we can't continue to analyze short stopping performance of de Gea, we must analyze his general ability as a goalkeeper. - De Gea earns a whooping £375,000 a week despite all this weakness - for the last 4 seasons he's been absolutely horrific. He can't pass, can't sweep and can't claim crosses plus terrible ball distribution which absolutely blows the team structure apart. I hate it when you people make me feel as if without De Gea Manchester United will be dead.

Dave has been treated appallingly here. He has been there 12 years, is a decorated player and won the club many points with his performances. If the club doesn't want to retain him so be it. But treat him with the respect he has earned ffs! Would any of us expect to be treated like this by our employer? So why is it ok for Man United?

Manchester United need to move on . De Gea is not good enough for Manchester United because - poor ball distribution with zero assist, terrible pass completion rate . check all the teams that have been successful of recent all have a good ball playing goalkeeper - not good with set peices - can't save penalty from 2016-2021(5 years) David de Gea face 40 penalty and failed to save even one of them and it's part of the reason why Manchester United stayed this long without a trophy . - can't command his area because of his poor leadership skills .
but he don't deserve such treatment....what about trophies we have won with his saves...have you already forgot or you simply don't know how to give respect...don't be like Glazers....

De Gea is my favorite player at Manu. But I advise him to save himself and leave for Saudi league. Stop being a scapegoat, let the haters see valuable he is.

Ridiculously funny[Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh], they think Erik is the one who handles contract? It's so disgusting when fan who dont know anything about football comes here and blame coaches for everything they here happening. In big football clubs there are so many department, where even the coaches voice is less considered.
