Former Chelsea player Jason Cundy has called out the club's stance on Mason Mount as Manchester United's transfer anger intensifies.
MEN Sport understands that United are increasingly unhappy with the way Chelsea are handling negotiations, with three bids rejected including their latest of up to £55million. The London club are holding out for closer to £65m.
Mount had agreed personal terms with United at the end of May and is thought to be keen on a move to Old Trafford. However, United's desire to get deals done quickly could force the club to look elsewhere, leaving Mount in limbo.
"I feel for Mason because he's in a real situation where clearly he wants to join United, clearly he doesn't see his future at Chelsea, Chelsea don't see his future with them," Cundy told talkSPORT.

"So now the Man United situation, he sat down, agreed terms, from what we understand, that bit's done. It's now for the two clubs to sort this out. He's got a year left at Chelsea, doesn't want to sign. This deal has got to be done in the next 10 days it feels like.
"What Man United have offered doesn't reach Chelsea's valuation of him even though he's got a year left on his contract. We are talking single-figure million pounds now, these are not big numbers in the grand scheme of things.
"There's a common ground between what the two parties can decide. Meet in the middle, get it done, for the best of everyone."
Mount will enter the final 12 months of his Chelsea contract next month, with the 24-year-old set to call time on an 18-year spell at Stamford Bridge.
