Man Utd fans say signing Mount and Kane is 'destiny' after footage from England game emerges

An incident involving Harry Kane, Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford from England's 7-0 win against Montenegro in 2019 is going viral again amid ongoing transfer rumours.

Manchester United are close to making Mason Mount their first signing of the summer window.

The 24-year-old Chelsea midfielder has agreed personal terms with Erik ten Hag's side, according to Fabrizio Romano.

After rejecting a £50 million bid rejected from United for the England international, Chelsea are believed to want £60-65 million for Mount.

United, meanwhile, want a "quick resolution" but won’t make a "crazy’ bid.

The Premier League club are also being strongly linked with a move for Spurs forward Harry Kane as they prepare to recruit a world-class striker.

A report from The Sun, however, suggests United have called on Kane to force through a move away from Tottenham as they grow frustrated over a lack of progression.

With speculation growing over the future of both Mount and Kane, a video from a game involving the pair – and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford – has got fans talking.

As you can see in the footage below, Rashford clashes with Montenegro's Marko Vesovic after he was involved in a heated confrontation with the Qarabag defender.

Then, both Mount and Kane rush to his defence. Twitter user and United fan @UtdEIIis posted the clip with the caption: "Peep the two players that backed Rashford."

Here's how fans on social media reacted to the incident.

One said: "Even if it makes no sense, this clip has convinced me. Get both these lads at the theatre of dreams ASAP," while another wrote: "Mount always there for his teammates."

A third added: "I was never Mount to United but after seeing this bring them both!"

Some, however, were unconvinced. One said: "Tactically speaking, those are obviously the two closest to his position with Chilwell. So obviously they would get there first. Relax."

A second wrote: "Kane is the captain. If he didn’t back him it’d be embarrassing."

A third commented: "Two players that are closest on the pitch arrive to talk to the referee first, absolute shocker that."

Earlier this week, United left-back Luke Shaw said he would "love" England teammates Harry Kane and Declan Rice to join the ranks at Old Trafford.

"I would love a few of them to join - I am not going to lie," he said. "I am speaking to them, telling them how good Manchester is, because I know their qualities.

"I know they are world-class players and they would be a massive help to us but I can only say so much. It is up to the club and whatever they decide, so we have to go from there.

"It is not normally discussed but, because of the time of the season and what is going on, there is a lot of talk, a lot of banter."
