Manchester United have reportedly ended their pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, after the club rejected their third and final offer for the player. United had offered £50m plus £5m in add-ons, but Chelsea countered with a proposal worth £65m, which United deemed too high. The Red Devils are said to be frustrated with Chelsea’s approach to negotiations and feel they are being charged a “Manchester United tax”. Instead, United are now said to be pursuing a move for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, who is expected to cost around £80m.
