And now, as alluded to above, further insight into some of the finer details of the transfer, as well as its predicted knock-on effect, have been forthcoming.
The info comes courtesy of the Manchester Evening News, who have first confirmed that Mount is set to pen a five-year contract with his new club, featuring the option for a further year.
With one fresh face primed to add to Erik ten Hag’s midfield ranks at Old Trafford, however, it has since also been confirmed that another is likely to make way over the weeks ahead.
The Brazilian is understood to be attracting interest from Fulham, albeit with it currently unclear whether Fred himself would be open to the prospect of a move to Craven Cottage.
