Manchester United’s new signing Mason Mount has basically blamed Chelsea for the fact that he ended up sealing a controversial transfer to Old Trafford this summer.
Many Blues fans will be angered by the fact that one of their homegrown talents has ended up leaving the club for a major rival, but it seems Mount insists he wasn’t actually in their plans anymore.
Speaking in the video clip below, Mount says it became clear a few months ago that he was no longer in Chelsea’s plans, and that he was then eager to move to Man Utd once he learned about their interest…

Mount looks an exciting signing for United, but it’ll certainly be interesting to see the reception he gets when he’s back playing at Stamford Bridge in the future.
Chelsea have endured a difficult summer in which other big names like Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic have left for rival Premier League clubs, with the duo joining Arsenal and Manchester City, respectively.
Mount has always been overrated, and he wanted silly money when his form had slumped
Good riddance, average player
Mount is a one of a kind type player, seeing gaps and finding space to make things happen. His form did slump massively and I agree that he was wanting silly money at a time when he wasn’t proving his worth. Unfortunately, he was pushing Boehly and co into a corner for more money as they were also pushing him for a longer contract. Only one side could ever win and it was never going to be Mount.
Absolute scumbag. Good riddance money grabbing c**t.
