The Manchester Evening News has clarified that despite Italian media reports suggesting Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount was recommended to AC Milan, there was never any contact between AC Milan and Mount's representatives.

Amorim, who recently took over as AC Milan manager after his time at Manchester United, held Mount in high regard during his spell at Old Trafford. However, the 27-year-old midfielder is expected to remain at Manchester United.

Those close to Mount expressed surprise at the weekend reports linking him with AC Milan. Manchester United's squad has not yet gathered at Carrington for pre-season preparations. Mount is currently training individually with a private coach in Spain to prepare for the new campaign.

In the 2024-25 season, Manchester United will compete on four fronts: the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup. With a demanding fixture schedule ahead, Mount is considered an important and experienced player for the team.

Carrick has also made clear that Mount has a place in his team-building plans. He stated in a January interview: "I value Mason highly. He is an integral part of this team and this club."
