Another Chelsea fan felt that Mount had helped United grow and his bond with Chelsea was not as strong as previously thought.

‘Massive club, huge iconic players that have played here and I wanted to be part of that from the beginning. Getting here early ready for pre-season to start was a main objective of mine as well.’

Mount stated that he draws inspiration from the likes of Beckham and Ronaldo.

He said: ‘So many iconic players have played for this club and watching them as a youngster and also being a fan of them, it is very special to be here. This is what I’ve worked a long, long time for and it is so exciting.

‘I had a lot of idols. Ronaldo, you see the little video of me when I was younger. I loved watching him play. Becks [David Beckham] was also a massive inspiration of mine, I was in awe of his free-kick technique. You take bits of inspiration from different players.’
