If you remember, Mason Mount recently ended his 18-year association with Chelsea. But this evening, the Midfielder is likely to make a comeback at the Stamford Bridge. This time, the midfielder will be donning Manchester United Red in front of fans who sang his name loudly last season.
But is everything okay with Erik Ten Hags’ side? Read on to learn more from this article.
Mason Mount’s Move to Manchester United
Manchester United spent £55 million and an additional £5m to acquire the star’s signature last July. His contract at Chelsea would have expired in the summer of 2024, and he would have become a free agent.
Despite everything, Erik Ten Hag had decided that the midfielder was the man he wanted to add to his team to make everything solid. He led the board to negotiations, but the reality was that the deal wasn’t cheap.
His move, [Mason Mount], to Old Trafford from Stamford Bridge has been accompanied by several disappointments. He has been through an injury period that has seen him only make nine appearances, four of which were as a starter.
Manchester United played Brentford last Sunday, and he made an appearance in the second half. He scored United’s only goal, which also doubled as his first goal after being on the sideline for four months.
It’s a matter of waiting and seeing if Erik Ten Hag will deploy the 25-year-old from the offset against his former team. It will be interesting to see Mount play against Chelsea on Thursday. Considering the manner in which he left, it’s presumed that Mount burned bridges between him and the fans at Stamford Bridge. Therefore, he is ready for an unwelcoming atmosphere should he show up for the game.
