Manchester United are ready to make an improved bid of £50million for Chelsea and England midfielder Mason Mount.
United had a £40m bid for Mount rejected by Chelsea earlier this week, but are set to return with a bigger offer for the 24-year-old attacker. Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag identified Mount as a player who can give United a different dimension in attack, with his ability to play in a variety of positions across the front line.
Chelsea value Mount at £70m, but with the player about to enter the final year of his contract, United feel their valuation of £50m is far more realistic. United's latest offer is likely to be their last, with the pressure now on Chelsea to either accept or risk Mount entering the final year of his contract and potentially leaving for nothing next summer.
