How much will Mason Mount earn at Manchester United? Report details wages ex-Chelsea star will get at Red Devils

Manchester United have sealed the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea, and a new report has delved into the finances involved in the deal.

The Athletic report that Mount stands to earn £200,000-250,000 per week at Old Trafford, joining on a five-year deal. That's a similar amount to what the Blues were offering the 24-year-old.

The wages are also the same Liverpool were proposing to Mount. The English midfielder decided against a move to Jurgen Klopp's side in favour of Manchester United.

The Red Devils finally agreed a deal with Chelsea after seeing three bids fail. The two Premier League giants have met in the middle at a £55 million plus £5 million in add-ons deal.

However, the add-ons are notably difficult to achieve, as Mount would need to win multiple trophies over the coming seasons. Moreover, he will need to play in most games, which if they come to fruition, would almost feel like a defeat for the west Londoners.

Mason Mount's desire to join Erik ten Hag's side stems from his desire for trophies. He told the club website:

“I am hugely ambitious. I know how amazing it feels to win major trophies and what it takes to do it. I will be giving everything to experience that again at Manchester United.”

Mason Mount joins United as a UEFA Champions League winner, starring in Chelsea's 2020-21 triumphant campaign. He has also won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. The English attacker made 195 appearances for the Blues, scoring 33 goals and providing 37 assists.

Manchester United turn their attention to former Chelsea target Andre Onana after Mason Mount capture

Onana looks to be next on Ten Hag's list.

Manchester United look set to follow up on the signing of Mason Mount with a move for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the Red Devils have made a £39 million proposal for Onana, while Inter value him at £52 million. Ten Hag looks set to replace David de Gea, whose contract expired on June 30.

Chelsea were showing an interest in Onana heading into the summer. However, the Evening Standard reported last month that the Blues dropped their interest as they explored other options like Borussia Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel and Brentford’s David Raya.

That paved the way for Manchester United to make their move for the 27-year-old who impressed last season. The Cameroonian kept 19 clean sheets in 41 games across competitions for the Nerazzurri. He could now be reunited with Ten Hag who had previously managed him at Ajax.
