Manchester United are showing keen interest in Chelsea duo Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic, as per Guardian journalist Jacob Steinberg. 

The Red Devils are focused on adding quality and physicality to their midfield and have identified both the Chelsea midfielders as viable targets this summer.

Both of them are contracted to Chelsea until 2024, and the Blues are expected to cash in on them if an extension is not agreed.

United have their sights on a number of other midfielders including West Ham captain Declan Rice, but deals for Kovacic and Mount may be more financially feasible.

With one year left on their respective contracts at Chelsea, they should be available at cut-price deals.

Do Manchester United need both Mount and Kovacic?

United are well-stocked in midfield areas at the moment, but manager Erik ten Hag may be on the lookout for experienced Premier League players like Kovacic and Mount.

Mount is one of the most productive midfielders in the Premier League in terms of goals and assists, although he has been below par in the current campaign.

The Englishman will provide excellent competition and cover for Bruno Fernandes, should he move to Old Trafford. Similarly, Kovacic would be a brilliant option in midfield to rotate with Christian Eriksen and Fred.
