Rio Ferdinand has claimed Chelsea will "regret" selling Mason Mount to Manchester United this summer after the midfielder's switch was confirmed. The 24-year-old ended an 18-year association with the football club this summer as the Red Devils sealed a deal worth up to £60million.
It comes after a long saga that led to many questions surrounding the future of Mount, with his contract status drifting further and further. With just 12 months remaining on his deal, an extension seemed unlikely and the end result was a transfer that seems to work for all parties.
“It’s never easy leaving the club where you grew up, but Manchester United will provide an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career," the England international told the official Manchester United website. "Having competed against them, I know just how strong a squad it is that I’m joining, and I can’t wait to be part of this group’s drive to win major trophies.
