Mason Mount has become the sixth most expensive signing at Manchester United.
The England international swapped Chelsea for the Red Devils this summer in a deal believed to be worth an eyewatering £60m.
According to The Sun, United paid a relatively lower fee than what a player of Mount's calibre would cost, considering he was to run out of contract at Stamford Bridge next summer.
