Quick, time, passes delivered to the attackers from the central midfielders as a result of rapid scanning of the entire pitch to recognize where each Manchester United attacking player is positioned continue to be the expected attributes that Erik ten Hag will continue to demand from his Manchester United midfielders throughout next season.
As is understood, the football ability of new Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount- to not only progress the ball in a rapid effective manner but the ability for the England midfielder to deliver an accurate pass behind the opponents' defense with Mason Mount understood to be a player who has an 80%+ pass accuracy in his arsenal are all attributes which made Mason Mount a very attractive asset- from a football sense- to have for Erik ten Hag.
With Mason Mount understood to be a player who has one foot through the doors of Old Trafford as a result of a verbal agreement between Manchester United and the England midfielder as of mid-June 2023, Mason Mount is further confirmed to be a player whom Erik Ten Hag is happy to uh within his Manchester United team next season.
However, transparency must still be provided regarding the situation of Mason Mount as of mid-June 2023, Chelsea is confirmed to have remained open to sanctioning a departure for the English midfielder from Stamford Bridge this 2023 summer transfer window, and official contract signing had been instigated between Manchester United and Chelsea for the acquisition of Mason Mount until the middle of June 2023 after Chelsea and ultimately received confirmation from Mason mount that the English midfielder will in no way sign a new contract with just moving forward.
Chelsea executives facing the danger of losing the English midfielder who had risen from the ranks of the Chelsea Academy and established himself as one of the more permanent stars within a Chelsea team, especially during a turbulent two or three seasons within the Chelsea men's first team, Chelsea executives hesitantly ignited conversations with Manchester United executives to try and facilitate a move away from Chelsea for Mason Mount when did the decision rooted on the call understanding that Mason Mount had transmitted his intentions to discharge the executive that he will in no form sign a new contract Chelsea which left Chelsea running the risk of losing the Chelsea Academy player on a free during the 2024 spring season.
Up until late May 2023, Liverpool Football Club understood you had remained very much in the hunt for the service of English midfielder Mason Mount which had put Manchester United's intent to secure the services of Mason Mount on a now concluded 4-year contract was an extra one-year extension clause attached to the English midfielders’ new £250,000 a week five-year contract at Manchester United in jeopardy.
The situation was salvaged by the Manchester United executives have returned to the negotiation table to iron out a new payment term with Chelsea which resulted in Manchester United representatives successfully able to close out a deal with Chelsea which has led to Mason Mount securing a move to Manchester United constructed around a four year plus a one-year extension clause contract which will now start earning Mason Mount a £250,000 a week wage as a Manchester United player.
This successful acquisition of the English midfielder is understood to have projected Manchester United as having been required to meet the £80 million demand made by Chelsea for the services of Mason Mount.
In mid-June 2023, Manchester United executives were understood to have refused to match the £80 million demand made by Chelsea with Manchester United executives citing the fact that an £80 million demand for a player in Mason Mount who not only is no longer wanted by Chelsea but a player whom will be out of contract at jersey at the end of this current season simply is an unrealistic demand to make by the club from the blue side of London.

Understandably, Manchester United's executives' business intelligence to recognize the irrationality in providing such an exorbitant amount of money in the form of £80 million for a midfielder who essentially would have parted with Chelsea in the spring of 2024. This aspect of Mason Mounts' previous situation was highlighted as a situation that would have allowed Manchester United executives with the conducive opportunity to secure the services of the player for free in 2024 if Chelsea executives had refused to accept the modified £60 million which has now been effectively agreed upon between Chelsea and Manchester United.
For Chelsea executives to have now successfully avoided the unacceptable future where Manchester United would have acquired the services of Mason Mount on a free transfer basis highlights the advantage of having a business-minded- Football minded board that has capitalized on a negative situation and flipped it to a positive at the cost of Manchester United.
On the flip side for Manchester United, the successful venture of the Glazer has successfully cut down an inflated price which originally was operating at £80 million to an approximated £70 million spent to acquire Mason Mount also highlighted the advantage of having a business savvy ownership operating at the helm of the football club from a Manchester United perspective.
Furthermore, the successful acquisition of Mason Mount ultimately revealed the advantage of having business-savvy CEOs such as the Glazers as the hierarchy in charge of Manchester United for now.
