With the Premier League concluded, Manchester United will now intensify its preparations for this weekend’s FA Cup final.
This season, the Red Devils improved under Erik ten Hag, finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League once more. However, there is still one task to complete. This Saturday, United will play City in the FA Cup final. With a win, United can not only win two cups, but they can also prevent City from winning all three, as Pep Guardiola’s team still has the Champions League final to play.
We have compiled all the most recent information about Old Trafford in advance of this weekend’s championship game.
Mount. Chase
According to reports, United is certain that it will buy Chelsea star Mason Mount before Arsenal and Liverpool.
The Telegraph claims that Erik ten Hag is pressuring the Red Devils to sign Mount, who may become available this summer due to Chelsea’s overcrowded roster at Stamford Bridge. However, it’s rumoured that Chelsea would expect up to £85 million to sell Mount, which might interfere with United’s spending plans if they decide to pursue a deal.
Mount’s Chelsea contract expires in just one year, thus a deal might be reached for less. The level of interest from the Premier League, which will undoubtedly raise the price, could be a hurdle in any discussions.
Kane’s newest
To acquire Tottenham star and rumoured target Harry Kane, Man Utd may have to wait.
Old Trafford has been heavily linked to Kane’s transfer, but Football London’s Alistair Gold believes Kane will likely stay.
“At this early stage, there is a feeling within the club that Kane is less likely to leave this summer and will instead give Spurs at least one season before the power with his contract situation falls back in his hands,” Gold wrote.
