'I Wasn't In Chelsea's Plans' Says Manchester United's Mason Mount
Manchester United's new midfielder Mason Mount claims he left Chelsea because he realised he was not in the club's plans several months ago. Mount signed a five-year contract with United on Wednesday for a reported initial fee of £55 million ($70 million). The England international's move to Old Trafford was reportedly sparked by an impasse in negotiations over a new deal at Stamford Bridge. But Mount said he had the feeling Chelsea were willing to plan without him for the long-term, a suspicion that convinced him to join the Red Devils.
