Former Liverpool player, John Barnes, has backed Chelsea midfielder, Mason Mount to make a fresh start at Premier League rival, Manchester United.

Mount is keen to leave Chelsea this summer and has been linked with a move to Man United.

The England international has reportedly stalled contract talks at Chelsea and is looking for an exit this summer.

Speaking to MyBettingSites, Barnes said, “United’s interest in Mount doesn’t surprise me at all. He’s young, he’s English, he’s a very good player that works hard and has a good attitude.

“Ten Hag likes players like that and Chelsea has loads of players in Mount’s situation where their futures are uncertain because they have so many players. It would be a good move for both Manchester United and Mason Mount. It would be a fresh start for him.”
