Alongside Manzambi: Aston Villa Make Contact to Sign Man Utd Star Mason Mount

Alongside Manzambi: Aston Villa Make Contact to Sign Man Utd Star Mason Mount Aston Villa have been rocked in the transfer market this week, and they are now keen to try and make it right with new arrivals. The club saw midfield star Amadou Onana suffer a ruptured cruciate knee ligament injury at the World Cup which will see him miss the majority of the season, while Man Utd moved to trigger Youri Tielemans' £35m release clause to take him to Old Trafford against Villa's wishes. Unai Emery has been handed some reinforcements, with Johan Manzambi set to arrive in a £52.4m deal from SC Freiburg, following his excellent World Cup campaign, and now the club are pushing for more signings to help fill the gaps. According to TEAMtalk, Aston Villa have made contact with Man Utd about a deal to sign midfielder Mason Mount this summer. The England international has now entered the final two years of his contract, which sees him earn £250,000-a-week, and with Michael Carrick overseeing a midfield rebuild this summer, there was some speculation that Mount could be allowed to move on. But the squad is now weaker following the midfield developments, plus the fact Jadon Sancho has left after his loan spell.
