Mason Mount faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea with his contract set to expire at the end of next season
Paul Scholes has questioned whether Manchester United should sign Mason Mount this summer. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford since entering the final 12 months of his contract at Chelsea.
With Mauricio Pochettino expected to replace Frank Lampard in the coming weeks, football.london understands that the Argentine is an admirer of Mount and he could sway his decision. But, as it stands, Mount will become a free agent in June 2024 and, until then, he'll be available for a discounted price.
"Look, I like Mason Mount… does he do enough?" said the former Red Devils midfielder on Premier League Productions. "I thought when he first came onto the scene, ‘have got a new Frank Lampard?’
"I know we talked before about not comparing players to these types. But I expected him to score goals, a lot more goals, in big games, to win you games, he hasn’t really kicked on from there. I think a change of club might not be a bad thing for him."

Despite a disappointing season and a number of players expected to leave this summer, Scholes believes that there's a lot to look forward to for Pochettino – if he put pen to paper on a deal. The BT Sport pundit added: "I think if I was a new coach going into that [Chelsea] squad I’d be excited about what’s there. I think there’s a lot of real talent.
"I think he’s going to have to buy a couple of centre-halves, possibly a right-back, possibly a left-back, a whole new back four, I’m not sure about either goalkeeper.
"But I think going forward, I always look a team and I’m excited when they create chances, I think adding a centre-forward to that, they’re always going to create chances and if you’ve got a team who can score goals you’ve always got a chance."

MAYBE.., Mr Paul Scholes Should Question Himself Instead Why United Board Rejected His Application For The Job Of Managing United Under 21 Back Then... [Sadtolook] Should Question Himself Why He Jumped The Ship At Oldham For Only A Few Months As The Manager Knowing They Are About To Be Relegated Back Then... [Sadtolook] JUST MAYBE..........
Great players don’t always make great coaches but what he said is just what any football connoisseur saw. Chelsea have a lot of talents and a younger squad and their season has been one of a missed goal chances. It’s just a fact and not opinion

truth be told bro, Mount is a good player. all he needs is a good coach to bring the best out from him.
You are right...Mount is an energetic player that know how to shoot from far and score some beautiful goals. It won't be bad if we sign him from Chelsea. I think Erik Ten Hag can mould him into a beast of players.

I wonder what Haag sees in Mason Mount but I do know under Haag Mount could be better, if he pushes himself to be a better player.
