Chelsea 'reject second Man United bid for Mount'

Chelsea have reportedly rejected a second bid from Manchester United for Mason Mount.

Since the closing weeks of the season, it has been apparent that the England international has little intention of remaining at Stamford Bridge.

Numerous attempts at negotiations over a new contract have ended without a resolution, with the academy graduate now in a position where he will enter the final 12 months of his contract.

If reports are to be believed, Mount has already given the green light to a transfer to Old Trafford if the two clubs can reach an agreement over a fee.

United are also said to have tried and failed with an offer in the region of £40m, Chelsea wanting to recoup at least £60m for a player who was not so long ago regarded . . .
