Manchester United have acted quickly in the summer transfer window following their £60million move to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea. The two parties had been locked in negotiations regarding Mount for a number of weeks with the Blues setting a firm asking price which saw them reject three bids from Man United.
Eventually, following a £50million proposal being submitted, face-to-face talks began and a compromise was met at £60million. Late into the evening on Tuesday, July 4, Mount posted a message to his Instagram confirming that he would be leaving his boyhood club
"Given the speculation over the last six months this may not come as a surprise to you, but it doesn't make it any easier to tell you I have made the decision to leave Chelsea," said the Cobham graduate. "I thought you deserved more than just a written statement, so I wanted to tell you directly how grateful I have been for all of your support over the last 18 years.
