BREAKING NEWS: Mason Mount arrives for his Man United medical at their training ground with his entourage to seal a £60m move from Chelsea – and could make debut against Leeds in Oslo next week
Mason Mount and his entourage have arrived at Manchester United after a £60million fee was agreed with Chelsea.
The England midfielder appeared at United’s Carrington training facility after the Red Devils at last look set to secure the Chelsea star’s services.
Erik ten Hag’s side were rebuffed several times in their approach for Mount this summer, but at last had a fee agreed at the fifth time of asking.
The player and a few members of his entourage were spotted arriving at the facility in a Mercedes early on Monday morning, entering through the back gate.
With an initial £55m figure, followed by £5m in add-ons, at last agreed between the rivals after weeks of negotiations and rejected advances, the player is due at United for a medical ahead of finalising terms on a move.

The 24-year-old is believed to be set to put pen to paper over terms at Old Trafford, signing a five-contract worth £250,000-a-week with the option of another year.
And he appears set to arrive at the perfect time for Ten Hag and Co, who are due to begin their pre-season training in earnest with a friendly against rivals Leeds next week.
As such, Mount could make his debut for his new club, although he will be some way from the theatre of dreams, with the game in fact taking place in Oslo, Norway.
Mount will become the latest in a string of big name stars to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, once his move is finalised.
Mateo Kovacic has joined Manchester City for £25m, while N’Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly have all made the switch to the Saudi Pro League, joining Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal respectively.
Kai Havertz has also departed, signing for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal for £65m, as the clear out in west London continues apace as Mauricio Pochettino takes charge of the club.
