Manchester United have ended their pursuit of Chelsea star Mason Mount after their third bid for the England international was rejected by the Blues.
The Red Devils have made no secret of the fact that Mount was their priority target over the course of the summer, hence the three bids so soon into the transfer window. However, their most recent offer of £50million and £5m worth of add-ons was deemed insufficient by the Stamford Bridge hierarchy and as a result the switch looks to have fallen through.
Instead, United are rumoured to have diverted their attention to Brighton's Moises Caicedo, a man Chelsea also have in their sights, as per the Times. Whether Erik ten Hag manages to fare better in his pursuit of the Ecuadorian than he did in his efforts to sign Mount remains to be seen.
