Erik ten Hag tried to sign Mason Mount five years ago... when the Manchester United boss was in charge of Dutch giants Ajax.
The Red Devils have agreed a deal for Mount, 24, after Chelsea rejected their first two approaches. United have now offered £55m up front, with a further £5m in add-ons, with personal terms already agreed with the player.
Mount leaves Stamford Bridge this summer after failing to agree a new contract. His existing deal expired in a year's time and Chelsea are willing to sell him now rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.
