Thiago Silva reacts to Mason Mount reaching Manchester United agreement

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva appears to have shown his dismay at news that Mason Mount could leave the club to join Manchester United this summer.

The Manchester Evening News revealed on Wednesday night that Mount has agreed personal terms with United over a proposed move in the coming months.

It is understood Mount's representatives, his father Tony and agent Neil Fewings, have held advanced discussions with United but there is no agreement between the clubs on a fee yet.

Erik ten Hag is keen on adding a young midfielder and Mount, who is out of contract at Chelsea next year, is pushing to leave Stamford Bridge.

There is still a long way to go before any deal can be agreed between the two clubs, and interest is believed to be high with both Arsenal and Liverpool also linked with a move.

In any case, it appears that Chelsea teammate Silva disagrees with the decision to let the boyhood Blue leave the club this summer, after he took to social media to react to the news.

Instagram account 'just_cfc' uploaded a mocked up picture of Mount in United training gear and Silva responded by commenting two crying emojis in the comment section below.

Mount has won the Champions League and Club World Cup with Chelsea and he was a starter in their three successive FA Cup final defeats between 2020-22, as well as their League Cup final loss to Liverpool on penalties last year.

The Chelsea academy graduate started for England in the European Championship final against Italy in 2021 and he has attained 36 caps.
