Manchester United are willing to end their pursuit of Mason Mount to avoid paying a 'United Tax' for the England international.
Chelsea have rejected three bids from the Red Devils for Mount, 24, including their most recent offer of £55million. The Blues are holding out for £65m but are willing to get round the table with United's recruitment team to reach an agreement.
That may concern United's football director John Murtough, who has struggled to sign players in the past due to the stature of his employers. It's believed clubs sometimes ramp up transfer fees when United come calling. The tactic is referred to as 'United Tax'.
