Manchester United are set to make one final push for Chelsea's Mason Mount after having a £40m bid rejected earlier this week.

Manchester United are reportedly set to go back in for Mason Mount with an even bigger offer as the Red Devils hope to strike an agreement with Chelsea early in the transfer window.

Man United to make final attempt to land Mount

Mount has emerged as a top target for United boss Erik ten Hag and the club had a substantial offer rejected for the England midfielder on Wednesday, believed to be around £40million.

According to Mirror Football, 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.

The report further states that United's newest 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.
