According to The Guardian, United have already opened talks with Chelsea over a deal for Mount, with the Blues midfielder seemingly certain to leave his boyhood club after failing to agree on a new contract.

The publication claimed the Red Devils have already agreed on personal terms with the Englishman ahead of a possible Old Trafford switch.

Be that as it may, the Manchester club will have to contend with competition from Arsenal and Liverpool in their pursuit of the Chelsea academy graduate.

Chilwell sends message to Mount

Chilwell, who is understood to be close pals with Mount, has now urged the midfielder to reject a move to Manchester United and stay at Chelsea.

The former Leicester City ace made the plea when he was asked about his friend's future while at the Spanish Grand Prix.

"It's none of my business personally, but he is my best mate so I would love him to stay," Chilwell told Sky Sports, via The Mirror.
"If he goes, everyone will be sad to see him go," the left-back added.

Mount has just a year left on his Chelsea contract, with the Blues keen to cash in on him rather than lose him on a free transfer after next season.

Chelsea fans taunt Mount

Sports Brief also reported that Mason Mount was targeted by fans for his dip in form this season amid rumours he is leaving the club.

In a video uploaded on Tiktok by journalist Amelia Dimoldenberg, he was spotted dancing with fans taunting him via social media.

ThatGuyLeee uploaded the video on Twitter and captioned it as the midfielder's 'highlights of the season', sparking many reactions.
