As he posed in the Red Devils' jersey, Mason Mount revealed the reason for him to depart from Chelsea.
The 24-year-old has had a deep-rooted connection to Chelsea, having been with the club since he was a young player. His impressive performances and strong bond with the team made it highly unlikely for the fans to see him leave. On July 5, however, Manchester United announced the signing of Mount and revealed his legendary N7 shirt number.
"It became clear that I wasn't in Chelsea's plans moving forward" said the club's homegrown talent in an interview with Sky Sports. Mount added that by the time he learned of Manchester United's interest, his decision was already made. Mount's arrival at Old Trafford was highly anticipated, and it will be intriguing to witness the reaction he receives when he plays at Stamford Bridge in the future.
The Blues have faced challenges this summer as about 15 of their prominent players left for top leagues teams.
