EPL: Mason Mount regrets move to Manchester United from Chelsea – Burley

Former Chelsea midfielder, Mason Mount, may be experiencing regrets over his decision to join Manchester United, suggests ex-Chelsea player Craig Burley.

Mount, a key figure at Stamford Bridge, departed for Old Trafford last summer in a £60 million deal after a successful stint with Chelsea, including a pivotal role in their 2021 Champions League triumph.

However, the 25-year-old has encountered challenges in his debut season at Manchester United, marked by injury setbacks and a decline in form that have limited his Premier League starts to just five.

Despite earning a rare start against Crystal Palace on Monday, Mount’s efforts couldn’t avert a humiliating 4-0 loss for the Red Devils, further intensifying scrutiny on his move.

Burley opined that Mount might be questioning his decision to leave Chelsea, suggesting that the transition to Manchester United hasn’t unfolded as expected.

“Mason Mount, obviously he’s had an injury-ravaged season, but even when he’s been fit he looks like a guy who’s thinking, ‘oh my god, I’ve just made a big mistake’,” Burley commented to ESPN.

“Whilst he’s been poor himself and he’s been out for a while, he’s got to be thinking to himself, ‘I’ve made a terrible move here.’”
