‘I wasn’t in Chelsea’s plans’ says Man United’s Mount

Mount spent 18 years with Chelsea and helped them win the Champions League in 2021

Manchester United’s new midfielder Mason Mount claims he left Chelsea because he realised he was not in the club’s plans several months ago.

Mount signed a five-year contract with United on Wednesday for a reported initial fee of £55 million ($70 million).

The England international’s move to Old Trafford was reportedly sparked by an impasse in negotiations over a new deal at Stamford Bridge.
