Mount has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, and United initially had three bids rejected by their Premier League rivals.

United remain in talks with Atalanta over the signing of striker Rasmus Hojlund. A gap in valuation exists – but it is thought the player wants to make the move.

The club also have their valuation of the player and will move to alternative targets if they feel Atalanta are overpricing the player. United are also looking at Eintracht Frankfurt striker Kolo Muani.

Meanwhile, a new goalkeeper remains on the agenda. Inter Milan’s Andre Onana is one of a few United are looking at. However, there is a feeling he may be too expensive, and United continue to look at other options.

Dialogue is still open with David de Gea over a new deal, with the 32-year-old Spaniard officially out of contract.

Erik ten Hag first bumped into Mount when he was Ajax head coach. On loan at Vitesse Arnhem, the 18-year-old’s free-kick led to his side’s third goal as they beat Ajax 3-2 in March 2018.

Ten Hag, then in charge of just his eighth game at Ajax, reportedly tried to sign Mount for the Dutch club on loan from Chelsea the following season. Fourteen goals and 10 assists in his first full campaign of senior football, largely from central midfield, had caught Ten Hag’s attention.
