Paul Merson admits he has been shocked by Mason Mount’s struggles at Manchester United given he was ‘unbelievable’ at Chelsea.

Mount established himself as a key player at boyhood club Chelsea after being given his first real chance by Blues legend Frank Lampard.

The midfielder made at least 50 appearances in three successive seasons at Stamford Bridge and helped Thomas Tuchel’s side win the Champions League in 2021.

Mount confirmed he was leaving Stamford Bridge in an emotional social media post in the summer of 2023 after spending 18 years at the club.

Manchester United emerged as the frontrunners to secure Mount’s signature and ended up bringing him to Old Trafford in a deal worth £60m.
