Mason Mount said: “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.
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.
“Everyone can see that the club has made big steps forward under Erik ten Hag. Having met with the manager & discussed his plans, I couldn’t be more excited for the seasons ahead, and am ready for the hard work expected here. #transfernews
”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.”
John Murtough, Manchester United football director, said: “Mason is an extremely intelligent footballer and has so many fantastic technical qualities that will significantly add to our squad. #transfernews
“His style of play and attributes are a perfect fit for this squad, and we all believe that he will only improve further by working with Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff.
“Mason himself is a world-class player but he also has the ability to improve the players around him through his game intelligence and tactical awareness.
“We were particularly impressed by his strong desire to join United, and his thirst for further success, as we push to drive up our performance levels next season and beyond.”
With 281 senior club appearances to his name already, and countless honours in his trophy cabinet, let’s zoom in on the steps that Mason has taken to end up at Old Trafford…
The following year, Mount won the Under-18 Premier League and his second consecutive FA Youth Cup with Chelsea, also tasting success in the Under-19s Euros with England.
In the final against Portugal, the midfielder provided the assist for Lukas Nmecha’s winning goal and was also named the Golden Player of the tournament, marking him out as a player for the big stage.
Loan moves to Vitesse and Derby County aided Mount’s development in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons, with his year in the Eredivisie coinciding with Erik ten Hag’s first campaign at the helm of Ajax.
The midfield maestro made 44 appearances in all competitions for the Rams, scoring 11 goals and assisting six times as they reached the play-off final before being narrowly beaten by Aston Villa.
Despite his inaugural top-flight campaign being disrupted by the Covid pandemic, he became the first Chelsea academy graduate ever to make his debut and record 50 appearances in the same season.
His goals against Porto and Real Madrid were crucial in the Blues’ European campaign, as Thomas Tuchel’s side toppled Manchester City 1-0 in the final to claim what was the midfielder’s first-ever senior trophy for his club. #transfernews
That summer, Mason formed part of England’s Euro 2020 squad – the tournament was delayed by a year due to Covid – alongside United’s Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho (then at Borussia Dortmund). #transfernews
