Man Utd handed ‘£50m price tag’ for target amid ‘club record transfer plan’

Manchester United are back in action on Thursday night when they take on Real Betis in the Europa League. The Red Devils are looking to dust themselves down quickly following a 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool, welcoming an impressive Betis side to Old Trafford for the first leg of their round of 16 tie.

Erik ten Hag’s men have been hounded for their performance at Anfield, and a positive performance is required on Thursday night to change the perception that emerged from Sunday night. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest surrounding Old Trafford.

Mount price

United are said to be keen on a move for Chelsea star Mason Mount as they look to strengthen their attacking options this summer. Mount has seen competition increase significantly at Chelsea. and he could be allowed to leave in the summer as Graham Potter looks to trim his inflated squad.

According to the Guardian, Chelsea could allow Mount to leave for around £50million, handing United a potential opportunity to land the England international ahead of next season. Mount is under contract until 2024, so Chelsea have a decision to make in any case this summer, given a new contract has not been agreed yet.

Camavinga claim

Elsewhere, United are being tipped to make a big-money move for Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga as they look to improve their midfield. According to Fichajes, the Red Devils are preparing a club-record bid to sign Camavinga, who has become a central part of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid would be very reluctant to lose Camavinga, but the report claims they have placed a £115million price tag on Camavinga. The 20-year-old midfielder joined Real Madrid for a fee of around £28million in the summer of 2021, going on to become a Champions League and La Liga winner in his first season.
