Manchester United fans believe Alejandro Garnacho has dropped Mason Mount transfer 'hint'

A number of Manchester United supporters believe that the club is making progress with its pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount - and it is thanks to Alejandro Garnacho.

United have identified Mount as their primary target to strengthen their midfield options this summer and are determined to wrap up his signature as quickly as possible. The Reds, however, are understood to have seen three bids turned down for the England international so far, causing them to become unhappy with the Londoners.

John Murtough, who is United's football director, is understood to have taken a dim view of Chelsea's strategy of communicating the Reds' bids through the club's dedicated correspondents in the capital. United's latest bid for the 24-year-old was worth £55million, but Chelsea are holding out for £65million.
