Manchester United transfer news LIVE Mason Mount and Moises Caicedo updates plus Utd takeover latest
Manchester United's wait for their first signing of the summer continues on Monday as the Mason Mount saga rumbles on. United have now seen three bids for their top midfield target turned down by Chelsea of upfront fees with add-ons worth in the region of £40million, £50m and £55m.
Chelsea are holding out for an overall fee of £65m. The United football director John Murtough is understood to have taken a dim view of Chelsea's strategy of communicating United's bids through the club's dedicated correspondents in London.
Sources say Murtough's "hands are tied" due to United's finances and there is a precise bidding structure to progress with potential deals.
United have been linked with plenty of alternatives including Declan Rice and Moises Caceido. TODAY'S BIG TALKING POINT: Who are United's most sellable assets?
