Manchester United are making an opening offer for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.

Mount's minders have agreed personal terms with United and approved the move.

The Telegraph says United will offer £50m for Mount later this month.

They feel that this is a fair price for the England international, given he has a year to run on his Blues deal.

Chelsea have been seeking £60-70m, but knowing Mount's opinion there's a confidence they will accept the compromise.

The Londoners also need to sell to ease Financial Fair Play concerns.
