MANCHESTER UNITED have been handed an ultimatum in their transfer pursuit of Mason Mount.

That’s with Chelsea refusing to budge from the huge gap in the two clubs’ valuation.

Mount looks increasingly likely to leave Stamford Bridge after failing to agree a new deal.

Mauricio Pochettino would love to keep Mount in his squad.

But Todd Boehly is ready to cash in for the right price.

However, that figure is a lot more than United are prepared to pay.

Fabrizio Romano claims the Red Devils are eager to sign Mount – with the player equally as keen to make the move.

Unfortunately for Erik ten Hag though, Chelsea are refusing to sit down for negotiations.

That’s because they want an eye-watering £70million for the Cobham product.

But United are so far refusing to play ball, leaving Mount’s transfer in no man’s land.

Romano said: “There is still no official bid from Man United to Chelsea. United know, at the moment, that Chelsea don’t want to negotiate.

“Chelsea are not open at the moment to sit at a table and negotiate for Mason Mount.

“80million (euros) at least, or nothing. This is the position of Chelsea for Mount.

“At the moment United don’t want to pay that money. They want to pay way less than this.

“This is why there is a big gap between United and Chelsea. Let’s see if Chelsea open negotiations in the next days.

“We know the player is keen on the move, so Mount will be prepared to say ‘yes’ to this opportunity to leave Chelsea and go to United.

“But again it’s Chelsea creating the biggest issue. They are not accepting this possibility.”
