Mason Mount will join Manchester United on a contract rising potentially to £300,000-A-WEEK.

The departing Chelsea midfielder is joining United for £55m plus £5m in bonuses, with a medical slated today.

Mount leaves Chelsea on wages of £80,000-a-week to take up a massive pay-rise from United, says the London Evening Standard.

Chelsea had offered Mount £200,000-a-week, which he turned down before falling out with the club's American owners in February after they urged him to sign a bridging one-year contract extension.

Chelsea were forced into selling Mount with a year to run on his deal.
