Mason Mount has completed his £55m transfer from Chelsea to Manchester United to become Erik ten Hag’s first summer signing, with United stepping up their intent to buy André Onana from Internazionale by offering £39m (€45.5m) . Internazionale value the goalkeeper closer to €60m and rejected the bid but talks continue.

Mount has arrived at Old Trafford after negotiations led by John Murtough, United’s football director, signing a contract until 2028 with an option to extend by a year. The 24-year-old bolsters Ten Hag’s creative options, possessing the ability to operate in midfield or as a No 10 where he will provide competition for Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes. His fee could rise to £60m.
