Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is reportedly plotting an audacious move to rescue Mason Mount from his Manchester United nightmare, according to The Mirror.
The England international has struggled to make an impact since his £60m summer switch to Old Trafford, managing just 12 Premier League starts in an injury-plagued debut season.
Tuchel's Reunion Plan
Tuchel, who worked successfully with Mount during their Chelsea days, believes he can unlock the 25-year-old's potential again. The German tactician is said to be monitoring Mount's situation closely as he plans his summer rebuild at the Allianz Arena.
Mount's United Struggles
Since arriving at Manchester United with high expectations, Mount has:
- Started just 12 league games
- Been sidelined for 27 matches through injury
- Failed to register a single Premier League goal
- Seen his England place come under threat
The midfielder's disappointing form has raised questions about Erik ten Hag's transfer strategy, with United potentially facing a significant loss if they decide to cut their losses after just one season.
Bayern's Midfield Revamp
Tuchel sees Mount as a potential solution to Bayern's creative midfield issues, particularly with:
- Joshua Kimmich's future uncertain
- Leon Goretzka entering the final year of his contract
- The need for more English-speaking players in the squad
While no formal approach has been made yet, sources suggest Bayern could test United's resolve with a loan offer containing an option to buy.
Mount's Career Crossroads
At 25, Mount faces a critical decision about his next move. A successful spell in Germany could:
- Revive his international prospects
- Restore his confidence after a tough year
- Provide Champions League football
- Reunite him with a manager who knows his strengths
However, United may be reluctant to sanction a deal so soon after his arrival, especially to another European giant.
