Villa made contact with Manchester United over Mount in mid-July, hunting midfield reinforcement after Youri Tielemans's departure, and were knocked back. United rejected approaches from Villa, Fulham and Newcastle, with Michael Carrick planning to deploy the 27-year-old in a deeper role now that the No. 10 berth belongs to Bruno Fernandes; RB Leipzig, Inter and Napoli also explored a deal. Mount has managed only 54 Premier League appearances since his 2023 move to Old Trafford, a record shaped by repeated injury setbacks. Nothing has moved on the Villa front since July 14th, and the midfield rebuild has instead run through Joao Gomes and Johan Manzambi.
