Liverpool had reportedly held talks with Mason Mount before Manchester United agreed a fee with Chelsea for the midfielder. Mount arrived at Old Trafford in a £60million deal to become Erik ten Hag’s first signing of the summer.
The England international was one of a long list of players sold by Chelsea as Todd Boehly attempted to stay within Financial Fair Play regulations amid his mass spending sprees.
The new United No.7 started the opening two games against Wolves and Tottenham before picking up an injury that has ruled him out for a number of weeks.
Liverpool, meanwhile, turned their attention to Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai after talks with Mount broke down.
