After Liverpool's initial interest in wantaway Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, it will naturally spark debate whether they are making a mistake in allowing him to join their fiercest rivals.
On Thursday David Ornstein broke the news that Manchester United had fashioned a deal worth £60million for the England international, which was somewhat out of the blue despite all of the noise surrounding the player in recent months.
June saw multiple bids rejected by the club where Mount rose through academy's ranks, both from the Red Devils, and it appeared they were priced out. Then, all of a sudden the fee was agreed upon, leaving only the medical and contract to iron out.
