Jamie Carragher has questioned the timing of a report suggesting Mason Mount is edging closer to joining Manchester United.
It emerged earlier this week United had agreed personal terms with the Chelsea midfielder, who has also been linked with Liverpool in recent months as a potential midfield option. Such links have now quietened, with the Red Devils now leading the chase for his signature.
A fresh update from the Guardian on the matter has made clear United are now in direct talks with Chelsea over a transfer fee for the England international, with the Londoners searching for an optimistic bid of £70m.
