'Full package' - What Mason Mount's managers have said about him as Manchester United agree transfer
Manchester United are closing in on their first deal of the summer after agreeing a fee with Chelsea for Mason Mount. The Manchester Evening News understands United will pay an initial £55million for Mount, with £5million of performance-related add-ons potentially due in the future.
It is the club's fourth bid for the midfielder, having seen their most recent offer of £55million knocked back by Chelsea. The 24-year-old will undergo a medical once he is back from holiday, with personal terms to finalise having initially agreed on them back in May.
His arrival at Old Trafford will see one of Erik ten Hag's priority positions filled and a top target secured, paving the way for focus to turn elsewhere.
Mount has often been described as a 'manager's player', with his tactical adaptability and work-rate central to his success.
