Manchester United have identified three possible alternatives to Mason Mount as negotiations with Chelsea over the midfielder continue to stall.
United have had three bids rejected for the England man, with the latest offer of £55million being declined the Blues last week.
The Red Devils believe their valuation of Mount is fair, as he is out of contract next summer and is keen to move to Old Trafford. However, Chelsea have indicated they will only accept an offer of £58m plus another £7m in add-ons.
A face-to-face meeting has been suggested by the West London club, however according to ESPN, Untied have already started to look at alternatives to Mount - while leaving their latest off on the table.
Enquires are said to have been made for Brighton's in demand midfielder Moises Caicedo, Mohammed Kudas at Ajax and FC Utrecht's Taylor Booth.
Caicedo has already been the subject of a £60m rejected bid from Chelsea, and the Blues had been favourites to land the Ecuadorian, who is a different player than Mount and would cost United considerably more.
Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has signalled that they would allow Caicedo to leave the Seagulls, but would be looking for around £80million for the player.
If Caicedo does leave, Brighton are also keen on Ajax's Kudas as they look to reshape their midfield following the departure of Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool.
New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino remains hopeful that Mount will sign a new deal, but an agreement seems unlikely at this stage.
With the club looking to offload players following last season's £600million outlay, the Blues have come around to the idea of letting Mount go and feel finding a middle ground with United this summer is the best solution all round.
However, United are working to a strict budget with Erik ten Hag also targeting a new striker and a goalkeeper, with David De Gea's contract expiring this week.

But you were willing to make Maguire the most expensive Center back in English football history.

Considering he only has 1 year left at, it shouldn't cost that much

mate be a football fan mate tell me which young midfielder do we have at united who u can compare with mount in the number ten position let's be honest without hate
There's Bruno at No. 10. Then there's Eriksen whose natural position is No. 10 as a back-up to Bruno. Mount isn't close to either of those footballers. What Man Utd need is a top No. 8 player to partner Casemiro. That ain't Mount.

u need to learn more about football before u come out to speak,the type of players a team uses depends on the coach,go and check the number of blacks Mourinho bought to united and also check the relationship between Kudus and Ten Hang.
Where the blacks African? You’re the one that doesn’t know football in the history of Man U they don’t like blacks, even the so called mourinho u mentioned didn’t spend much time there so kudus should rather go where he will be honored and welcomed not Man U

U think Man U like using African players? So if kudus was ur brother you’ll advise him to play in Man U? It seems you’re born in year 2010 not to know much about man u, they’ll kill kudus career

u see why some of u guys only have this app on ur phone just to comment without thinking, united need quality and upgrade players that could match the current squad of man city if we really want to win something.Mount is just an average player like Fred or mc Tominay .if Erikson should be moved to his favorite position which is the number 10 currently occupied by Bruno, what is the use of mount in that team again. because Erickson is false fully playing as a defensive player because his position is occupied by Bruno,so I ask u kid,is the upgrade of Bruno or Erikson mount?

All I know for united to make any signing the takeover has to be first so if the glazer's make the first signing just know they're going nowhere
not true. If Chelsea accepted the £55M, Mount would be a utd player right now, it's Chelsea the problem, not Utd

man u should just forget mount and get Mohammed Kudus. very versatile and talented guy who is yet to achieve any major thing in football and will be putting in all the efforts with a club like united.we shouldn't repeat that Maguire's mistake by overpaying for any player who doesn't deserve.
