Man Utd legend Silvestre lists the five key attributes Chelsea’s Mason Mount would bring as club launch transfer bid
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Mikael Silvestre has listed the five key attributes Mason Mount would bring to the club.
The England international is a target for United, who have launched yet another bid to sign him from Chelsea.
Mount remains a key transfer target for the Red Devils, despite their improved £50million offer being rejected.
Silvestre is excited by the prospect of Mount joining his former club, even if a deal is yet to be struck.
The Frenchman believes he will bring a series of attributes with him, including versatility, finishing and mobility.
Silvestre also feels Mount loves to play in between the lines and can both receive and make precise passes.
He told FourFourTwo: “Versatility is his obvious quality.
“I’ve been following him since his loan to Vitesse Arnhem, and there was laughter when he broke into Chelsea’s first team.
“He’s a very interesting player, very mobile and loves to play in between the lines, receiving and making precise passes.
“He’s a good finisher as well and is a player in his prime. I think he would be an immediate reinforcement for United and would fit into Erik’s philosophy as well.”

Chelsea are said to be “trying to comply with Mount’s wishes”, with the player keen on a move to Old Trafford.
However, the Blues also value the 24-year-old at £70million, despite him entering the final year of his deal after contract talks collapsed.
