Manchester United have begun talks with Chelsea over the signing of Mason Mount.
The Blues academy graduate has been linked with a summer move to Old Trafford, with Mount’s current deal at Stamford Bridge expiring next summer.

TalkSPORT understands that the England star has already agreed personal terms with the Red Devils.
Now, Man United have officially contacted Chelsea to try and agree a fee.
Mount is keen on a move to Old Trafford, which would see him leave the club he has been with since 2005.
Arsenal and Liverpool are also interested in the 24-year-old, but the England international now looks set to move to United.
However, the Blues could demand up to £80m for Mt.
But according to The Sun, Mount’s Three Lions teammate could be included in United’s offer to help fill the gap near Chelsea’s asking price.
The captain of the Red Devils, Harry Maguire, fell to the decision of manager Eric ten Hag at Old Trafford, and it is known that his value is estimated at about 30 million pounds sterling.
It remains to be seen if new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino will want to add another defender to his already bloated squad.

But Pochettino was once interested in signing a centre-back from Hull during his time at Tottenham, with Maguire moving to Leicester City instead.
Man United take on rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup on Saturday – live on TalkSPORT – and if Ten Hag’s side win another trophy, it could potentially make a move to Old Trafford even more attractive for Mt.
