Erik ten Hag identified Mount as one of his top summer targets several months ago but United have been .
Manchester United had a and were reportedly looking at other targets as they disagreed with Chelsea’s £70m valuation.
But United have now agreed to pay an initial fee of £55m plus £5m in add-ons for a player who made 195 appearances for Chelsea and has 36 caps for England.
According to , Chelsea have given Mount permission to undergo a medical at Old Trafford as they iron out the finer details of the transfer.
Mount was entering the final 12 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and talks over a new deal stalled earlier in the year.
The 24-year-old, who will sign a five-year deal at Manchester United, was one of a number of Chelsea players to underwhelm last season as the Blues finished just 12th in the Premier League.
Mount has secured a move away from Chelsea just a as the club’s sixth permanent manager in five years.
N’Golo Kante, Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech, Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly have also left Chelsea during the early stages of the summer transfer window.
While some of those departures were to be expected, Chelsea have .
‘I cannot believe Chelsea are letting Mason Mount go,’ the former Arsenal and England star told Sky Sports last month.
‘We saw it last season with Antonio Rudiger, who was outstanding and one of the best defenders at the club.
‘He asked for more money and they didn’t give him it and then they buy Kalidou Koulibaly for £33m on a four-year contract which works out as more money than what they’d give Rudiger.
‘Now they’re doing it with Mount. He’s one of their own, he hasn’t had a very good season but they’re judging it just on one season.
‘The year before he was Chelsea’s best player. He was one of the first names on the team-sheet for England. Now they’re letting him go. It’s mind-blowing.
‘They’ll bring someone in who will probably take another year to get used to the league because they will have played abroad.
‘You’re also letting a very good footballer go to Manchester United or Liverpool, who Chelsea are fighting with to get into the top four next season. You couldn’t write it.
‘How can you let him go to a club that could majorly haunt you? United won’t believe their luck if they get him.’
Mount joins a Manchester United side that finished second in the Premier League last season and won the EFL Cup – their first trophy since 2017.
