Manchester United are still in the market to sign Mason Mount from Premier League rivals Chelsea despite their decision not to follow up on a rejected third offer for the England international.
United lodged an offer totalling £55m including add-ons on Friday, though the Blues knocked back the bid for a third time and instead proposed a deal worth a total of £65m - £58m of which was guaranteed plus £7m in add-ons. 90min understands and has reported that United are not prepared to meet that price and are exploring alternative targets.
However, 90min has also learned that there may be a middle ground between the existing proposals for the two parties to strike a deal, despite the current £10m gap in valuations.
