‘Why did you take so long to sign!’ – Mason Mount was issued a humorous welcoming greeting by Bruno Fernandes as the midfielder posted photographs from a previous match against Chelsea.

Date:

Mason Mount received a humorous welcome letter from Manchester United player Bruno Fernandes following his £60 million move from Chelsea.

The Red Devils have signed the England international to a five-year deal that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2028, with the option of an additional year, after agreeing to pay the Blues £60 million ($76 million). Fernandes did not waste any time in welcoming his new midfield partner, uploading two photos of a previous match with Mount from when United drew 1-1 with Chelsea at Old Trafford at the close of the 2021-22 season. Fernandes is seen confronting Mount in the first shot, and pulling the midfielder’s shirt as he tries to wiggle free in the second.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The partnership between Mount and Fernandes will be key next season for United as the Red Devils attempt to establish themselves as a title contender under the guidance of Erik ten Hag. Mount was convinced by Ten Hag’s vision for him at Old Trafford which led him to sign for United despite repeated attempts by Chelsea to extend his contract beyond 2024.

WHAT NEXT? Mount will fly to the United States in July along with the rest of Manchester United’s squad for pre-season commitments, and could make his competitive debut for the club in their 2023-24 Premier League opener against Wolves on August 14.
