Man United are working on finalising the signing of Mason Mount by end of the week, sources have told Football Insider.
The Chelsea star has agreed personal terms with United and told the club he has spent his entire career at that he wants to leave this summer.
The two clubs have yet to agree a fee but negotiations between United and the Londoners are advancing.

On Saturday (3 June), Football Insider revealed that Champions League football is a “big factor” in the England international’s decision to join United over Liverpool next season.
Liverpool were also interested in a deal for Mount but Man United have emerged as leaders in the race for his signature.
