Manchester United have been "dealt a blow" in their tentative attempt to sign Mason Mount - according to reports - as new Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel eyes up a reunion with the Chelsea player.
Speculation over Mount and his future at Stamford Bridge remains up in the air with the England midfielder only having 15 months left to run on his contract. As thing stand, an extension to his agreement appears less and less likely with several potential suitors queuing up for his would-be signature.
With one eye on the summer transfer window already, United manager Erik ten Hag wants to make at least two major signings. Harry Kane has been picked out as his main target in the search for a new striker and the Premier League side also hope to bring in another midfielder to strengthen their ranks.

A fee around £50m has been mooted for Mount as Chelsea strive to recoup funds following their staggering mid-season outlay.
Elsewhere, reports from Spanish publication Fichajes suggest United have earmarked Fulham star Aleksandar Mitrovic as a potential alternative to Tottenham striker Kane should they miss out on the England man as and when they get down to business in time for next season.
