Jose Mourinho has already given Manchester United five reasons to submit a fourth and final bid for Mason Mount. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford recently, but a switch appears to have fallen through.
Chelsea were once close to reaching an agreement with Mount over a new deal, football.london understands, but, following his return from the World Cup in December, an offer was no longer on the table. Then, in the new year, the Blues reopened talks with the England international, though he didn't want to sign a one-year extension.
It's believed that Mount has not yet received an improved offer since, meaning that he'll become a free agent in just over 12 months. football.london understands that Liverpool and Arsenal are both seriously interested in signing the Cobham graduate, but it was the Red Devils who were leading the charge for his signature.
