England midfielder Mason Mount has bid farewell to Chelsea after completing his medical ahead of his £60million move to Manchester United.

The England player talked to fans in a video posted to social media on Tuesday.

Mount has agreed to join United on a five-year deal for £55 million plus an extra £5 million.

The midfielder joined Chelsea when he was six years old, so he knows that some Blues fans won’t be happy about his move.

“I’ve made the decision to leave Chelsea,” the 24-year-old said.

“I feel you deserve more than a written statement so I wanted to tell you directly how grateful I have been for all of your support over the last 18 years.

“I know some of you won’t be happy with my decision, but it’s what’s right for me at this moment in my career.”

Mount also thanked the Chelsea academy, the people who work behind the scenes, his old teammates, and Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel, and Graham Potter, the managers he’s had since his first game as a professional.

Before a deal was made, United made three offers for Mount that Chelsea turned down.

He will be Erik ten Hag’s first signing of the summer. The Dutch manager wants to strengthen his team after United qualified for the Champions League for next season.

Mount has scored 33 goals in 195 games for Chelsea since he made his debut in 2019. He missed the end of the domestic season with an injury as the Blues struggled to finish 12th in the Premier League, which was their worst finish in more than 25 years.

Mount won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021. He played in the final, which was a 1-0 win over Manchester City. He also helped the Blues win the Fifa Club World Cup and the Uefa Super Cup.

He will be the latest Chelsea player to leave this summer, after players like N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, Kai Havertz, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Mateo Kovacic.
