Manchester United are contemplating a shock move for Chelsea star Mason Mount.

The Red Devils are eager to strengthen their squad for new manager Erik ten Hag.

According to The Sun, contract talks for Mount at Chelsea have stalled due to the club's protracted takeover by a consortium led by Todd Boehly.

United are hoping to swoop in amid the uncertainty about Mount's future.

Ten Hag is an admirer of the 23-year-old, and United will test Chelsea's resolve with a bid if Mount does not sign a new deal in the coming weeks.

However, there is no suggestion that Mount would want to leave Chelsea for United, considering the former are in the Champions League next season.
