Treble winner Dwight Yorke believes that Manchester United have got the better deal from signing Mason Mount compared to Declan Rice’s move to Arsenal.
Rice cost around £105 million from West Ham, while Mount left for United for £60m.
Both are England internationals with Premier League experience, and both have won a European medal already in their career, but the former Man Utd striker thinks Mount is less of a gamble.
Yorke was spoke to BoyleSports, who offer the latest Premier League odds here, saying: "There's a clear reason why Man City backed out of the Declan Rice signing, they don't think he's worth £105m. But that's the nature of business in football nowadays, it's a billion-pound industry.
“If Arsenal's owners have deep pockets and are willing to spend that money, then let them. West Ham's valuation of Rice probably comes from Enzo Fernandez's price, plus he's English so that adds on a few million. I understand why Rice is built up the way he is, he's an English international and he does really good things in the game but £105m is a lot of money.”
"Mason Mount for £60m is 100% a better deal than Rice for £105m. Mount will score more goals, obviously, they're different positions so it's harder to compare, but Mount is as talented as anyone else.”
United are set to add Andre Onana to their squad according to reports, as a replacement for David de Gea.
