Mason Mount has left Chelsea for Manchester United. The highly anticipated move was confirmed on Wednesday.
The England international signed a five-year contract. The transfer ends 18 years with Chelsea for Mount.
“Everyone can see that the club has made big steps forward under Erik ten Hag,” Mount said after he was unveiled by the Red Devils.
“Having met with the manager and discussed his plans, I couldn’t be more excited for the seasons ahead, and am ready for the hard work expected here.
“I am hugely ambitious; I know how amazing it feels to win major trophies and what it takes to do it. I will be giving everything to experience that again at Manchester United.”
