England international has signed a five-year contract with an extra year option and is set to become a key member of Ten Hag’s squad.

Mount took to social media on Tuesday to confirm his Chelsea exit and thanked several people for helping him during his time at Stamford Bridge. The midfielder has spent his whole career with the West London club and his move to Old Trafford will be a big change for the 24-year-old.
Mount is coming off the back of a poor season with Chelsea but will be hoping to play a big role in helping Man United compete at the top of the Premier League table as the Red Devils look to complete more signings before the end of the transfer window.
