Manchester United have made an approach to Chelsea over the signing of the club’s midfielder, Mason Mount.
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.
Mount last played for Chelsea in April before undergoing surgery on a pelvic injury which ruled him out for the rest of the season.
He appeared to be saying his goodbyes following Sunday’s 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle United that ended a dismal campaign.
The 24-year-old midfielder, a Chelsea academy graduate, has lifted the Champions League and Club World Cup since breaking into the senior team.
He also featured in three successive FA Cup finals and their League Cup final loss to Liverpool on penalties last year.
