Frank Lampard makes Mason Mount admission amid Manchester United links

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Chelsea's interim manager Frank Lampard has admitted Mason Mount is in a position where he could be leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer.

There is growing speculation Manchester United are looking at a move for Mount at the end of the season. Further reports suggested Mount, who has been missing since February with a pelvis injury, would favour a move to Old Trafford over Liverpool.

Lampard is a big fan of the Englishman having brought him to Derby County during his time at Pride Park. However, the interim boss hinted the relationship between Mount and Chelsea may be coming towards the end.

"I think with Mason particularly as an individual, I don’t know what the solution is going to be because it’s the club and Mason’s issue.

I don’t know where exactly Mason is at personally, he’s got a year left on his contract. "I know he’s held in high regard at the club and I know the club are trying to do what they can to make him stay, but I also think that Mason, I’d never want to stand here in the modern day and talk about what a player should do because they’ll see it all from their own eyes.
