Manchester United have made an approach to Chelsea over the signing of midfielder Mason Mount, Sky Sports News has been told.
However, no formal offer has been made yet for the Chelsea midfielder.
If a deal can be struck, it is thought personal terms are not expected to be a problem.
Mount’s Chelsea contract is up next summer. Manchester United have made a number of enquiries over his potential availability this season and have been encouraged by his complicated situation at Stamford Bridge.

With rumours linking Mason Mount with a move away from Chelsea this summer, we take a look back at some of his best goals and assists in the Premier League
“We saw it last season with Antonio Rudiger, who was outstanding and one of the best defenders at the club. He asked for more money and they didn’t give him it and then they buy Kalidou Koulibaly for £33m on a four-year contract which works out as more money than what they’d give Rudiger.
“Now they’re doing it with Mount. He’s one of their own, he hasn’t had a very good season but they’re judging it just on one season. The year before he was Chelsea’s best player. He was one of the first names on the teamsheet for England. Now they’re letting him go. It’s mind-blowing.
“They’ll bring someone in who will probably take another year to get used to the league because they will have played abroad.
