Manchester United have finally got their summer business up and running, albeit later than they would have wanted thanks to Chelsea's haggling.
Three bids went in from the Old Trafford club and all of them were turned down by the Stamford Bridge club. The Londoners were determined to get every pound they could from United.
United were rational with their transfer policy to not pay grossly over the odds, as they have done in the past at times, and rightly pointed to the figure Chelsea parted with for Raheem Sterling last summer, just shy of £50m. Like Mount, Sterling had a year left on his deal at Manchester City.
