Chelsea have rejected a second bid from Manchester United for midfielder Mason Mount.
The second offer is understood to be worth £50m – £45m guaranteed plus £5m in performance-related add-ons.

United clearly want to sign the England international but have a valuation in mind, which they are unlikely to go beyond.
Negotiations are expected to continue for Mount, who has one year left on his Chelsea contract.
Terryanews reported earlier this month United had made an opening deal worth £40m for Mount, which Chelsea also immediately knocked back.
