Erik ten Hag has revealed that Chelsea made multiple contract offers to Mason Mount before he decided to join Manchester United. Mount, who scored his first goal for United recently, is eager to start in the Premier League match against Chelsea. However, Ten Hag hinted that Mount might be on the bench for the game. Mount joined United for a fee of £55m rising to £60m in July, choosing to leave Chelsea after rejecting a contract extension. It was previously reported that Chelsea only offered Mount a one-year extension, but Ten Hag's comments suggest otherwise.
