Aston Villa are accelerating their pursuit of Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount. The 26-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford following injury setbacks and a dip in form. Aston Villa are hopeful that they can help him regain the form he showed at Chelsea. Former chief scout Mick Brown mentioned that United have tried to establish whether there is a market for Mount, and Aston Villa has been spoken about as a potential destination. Unai Emery, the Aston Villa manager, is a fan of Mount and believes he could help him rediscover his Chelsea form.

According to Football Insider, Aston Villa is closely monitoring Mason Mount's situation. Unai Emery, the Spanish coach, is interested in Mount to help him regain his best form. Mount has had limited playing time at Manchester United, only playing 952 minutes this season, despite the club paying €67 million for him in 2023. His market value has dropped significantly, making his departure from Old Trafford more feasible.
