Aston Villa Eyeing Move to Sign Man Utd Star Mason Mount

Aston Villa are interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount in the summer transfer window, alongside a number of Premier League clubs, according to Football Insider.

Mount has endured a difficult time at United due to injuries, but there’s no doubt he’s shown he’s a capable player for the Manchester club when fit.

Unfortunately for the England international, staying fit has been his biggest issue, while he also has some tough competition for places at Old Trafford.

Aston Villa will be looking to bring in reinforcements during the summer transfer window as they continue to provide Unai Emery with the tools to keep improving the Midlands side.

The Spanish manager has developed them into a European-chasing side, with there even being shouts of a potential Premier League title race.

Aston Villa Eyeing England International

According to a report from Football Insider, Aston Villa are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Manchester United midfielder Mount in the summer transfer window.

It’s claimed that Mount could move on when the market opens later this year, with the report claiming that the Red Devils would be open to allowing him to head through the exit door.

Mount simply isn’t available enough for United to warrant keeping him, especially if they receive a significant offer in the summer.

Journalist Matt Law has also claimed that Mount earns in the region of £300,000-a-week at United, so getting a player who has struggled to contribute regularly in recent years off the books would be a smart move.

Emery Can Fix Mason Mount

Emery is the type of manager who likes to get his hands on players who are perhaps not at their best. We’ve seen Villa bring in the likes of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford on loan in recent years, while Douglas Luiz also arrived in January.

The Villa boss knows how to get the best out of players, and he’s proved that on multiple occasions during his career.

Mount is certainly not someone who needs to be completely revived, but he’s not been a consistent performer during his time at United.

It remains to be seen how much United will demand for the midfielder, but it could be a smart move for Villa.

How Much Could Mount Cost?

GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT how much it might cost to get Mount out of United in the summer transfer window.

• Transferred from Chelsea to Manchester United for around £55–£60m in summer 2023.
• Recent market valuations (e.g., Transfermarkt/PlaymakerStats) put him around €27–€32m (~£24–£28m) due to injuries and limited impact.
• Clubs might realistically price him £25–£35m now — a significant drop from his transfer fee.
• Contract until 2028 supports retaining some value.
• £30–£40m feels fair — slightly above current data, factoring potential, England experience and squad role.
• If fully fit and consistent, his ceiling could edge toward £45m+.
