Manchester United officially announced the first signing this summer! The 24-year-old Chelsea midfielder joins for a transfer fee of up to £60 million

On July 5, Beijing time, Manchester United officially announced the signing of England international Mason Mount from Chelsea, and the two sides signed a 5+1 year contract, according to British media reports, his transfer fee reached up to 60 million pounds.

The 24-year-old from Chelsea's Academy and loan at Vitesse and Derby County made his first-team debut in 2019, scoring 33 goals in 195 appearances to date, winning the Champions League, UEFA Super League and Club World Cup, in addition to being an England international and runners-up member of the European Championship.

Mount is mainly an attacking midfielder, who can also play in multiple positions such as winger, with comprehensive skills, outstanding running ability, active fighting and strong tactical execution. Manchester United are suffering from a lack of midfield, especially after Erikson's injury last season, so they are interested in him.

Although Mount only had one year left on his contract, United made four offers before finally impressing Chelsea. According to British media and Romano, his transfer fee is 55 million fixed + 5 million floating, up to 60 million pounds! Signed for 5 years, with a 1-year renewal option, the weekly salary is £250,000, plus a floating maximum of 300,000.

Mount is also United's first signing of the summer and will be in pre-season training on Thursday. In the goalkeeper, center and other positions, Tenhach still needs reinforcements, and the next targets include Onana, Hoylund and Muani. But the sale of the club has been too slow and has been delayed.
