The 24-year-old midfielder has a year left on his contract at Chelsea and negotiations over a new deal have not gone anywhere.
Chelsea are likely to sell him if the midfielder does not agree to sign on fresh terms and several clubs in the Premier League are interested in him.
Liverpool have been chasing Mount for several months amid their expected midfield rebuild, but now they face real competition from their fiercest rivals Manchester United.
It has been claimed that the Red Devils are preparing to open talks to take the midfielder to Old Trafford this summer.
Erik ten Hag wants to have more midfield options in his squad and Mount is a player the Manchester United manager admires.
The Premier League giants are claimed to be ready to offer somewhere around £55m for the Chelsea star in the next transfer window.
Their valuation falls some way short of the £85m Chelsea are looking to bag if they sell Mount this summer.
Manchester United will consider offering more money for him as Ten Hag remains determined to sign Mount ahead of next season.
