Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly confident in his ability to convince Chelsea's Mason Mount to make the switch to Old Trafford this summer.
The Red Devils secured a third-placed finish in the Premier League this season after a final-day victory over Fulham on Sunday, meaning Champions League football will be returning to The Theatre of Dreams.
Ten Hag is hoping for a significant transfer budget this summer as he looks to further mould the United team into one which can play his brand of football - as well as a squad that can handle the demands of competing in Europe's elite club competition.
According to The Telegraph, Ten Hag believes that he can persuade Chelsea midfielder Mount to join his project in Manchester, with the 24-year-old looking set to leave Stamford Bridge.
It is understood that the Red Devils are looking to bring in a dynamic number eight to bolster their midfield options ahead of next season - a role Ten Hag feels that the England international could play well.
The report claims that fellow Premier League clubs Liverpool and Arsenal are keen on Mount as they aim to improve their own engine rooms - the former Derby County man has one year left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge. body check tags ::
