Why Mount is a better deal to Man Utd than what Declan Rice is to Arsenal

Former Manchester United star, Dwight Yorke in a recent statement has compared Mason Mount’s move to Manchester United to that of Declan Rice’s transfer to Arsenal.

According to Yorke, the Red Devils made a better move by signing Mount than Arsenal, who signed Declan Rice.

Recall that Man United signed Mount from Chelsea in a deal said to be worth £60million, while Rice, who is close to joining Arsenal will arrive at the club in a deal worth £105million from West Ham United.

Yorke, however, believes Mount will score more goals for Man United than Rice will do for Arsenal.

“There is a clear reason why Man City backed out of the Declan Rice signing, they don’t think he is worth £105m,” Yorke told BoyleSports.

“West Ham’s valuation of Rice probably comes from Enzo Fernandez’s price, plus he is English, so that adds on a few million.

“Mason Mount for £60m is 100 per cent a better deal than Rice for £105m. Mount will score more goals. Obviously, they are different positions, so it is harder to compare, but Mount is as talented as anyone else.”
