That appears to be the option for Erik ten Hag.

For months, United have been chasing Chelsea's Mount. It seemed a matter of time before a deal would be struck.

But the negotiations have dragged on and on.

The recent reports state Chelsea have rejected a THIRD bid for Mount from Man Utd, worth £55 million.

BBC Sport claim Chelsea want at least £58m plus another £7m in possible add-ons.

Meanwhile, United think that figure is excessive for a player with just 12 months left on their contract. They're now threatening to walk away.

, United have already moved on from Mount and Caicedo is top of their list.

Comparing Mount and Caicedo

We're aware that Mount and Caicedo aren't identical players and so we've used a vast array of statistics to compare the two.

Using Squawka's Comparison Matrix we've input 18 different stats and, using Opta data, it shows there's a clear winner between the two.

To make it fair, each stat is used 'per 90 minutes' in the Premier League last season rather than overall tally, due to the fact Caicedo played more than Mount.
