Manchester United are expected to table a formal bid for Mason Mount but remain some way short of Chelsea's valuation, according to reports.
Mount's exit from Chelsea this summer is becoming increasingly likely, with the midfielder set to call time on an 18-year spell at his boyhood club. The 24-year-old's contract will enter its final 12 months come July and no progress in discussing fresh terms will likely force to London club to cash in or risk losing him on a free next year.
United are among several Premier League clubs interested in Mount, with Erik ten Hag keen to add quality and depth to his midfield ahead of a potential title challenge. Liverpool have also expressed an interest in the England international, but Sky Sports reports that the Reds will try and get ahead with a formal offer.
