New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has insisted he has no interest in speaking about Mason Mount’s transfer to Manchester United and wants to focus only on his squad
Mauricio Pochettino has urged Chelsea to forget about Mason Mount ‘s transfer to Manchester United and look to the future.
Mount completed his move to Old Trafford with United paying an initial £55m plus up to £5m in add-ons for the England international. He is the Red Devils’ first summer signing as manager Erik ten Hag readies his squad for Champions League football.
The England international had not been one of the top 20 paid players at Stamford Bridge and with multiple attacking arrivals at the West London club across the past two transfer windows, his future at the club had dominated headlines for several months prior to his departure.
Mount had become a symbol for Chelsea ‘s youth system â which had produced multiple international players in recent years but many had to seek first-team opportunities, including Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori at Roma and Milan respectively.
