Manchester United are set to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea and the Blues fans have taken to social media to voice their frustrations.

After weeks of negotiations, Manchester United finally got a deal accepted by Chelsea for Mason Mount.

Mount appeared to be Erik ten Hag's priority target this summer as the United boss looks to instill some much-needed creativity into his side's midfield, taking some of the burden off Bruno Fernandes.

Mason Mount had turned down several contract offers, perhaps feeling a lack of appreciation from the club or, at least, wanting a proposal that reflected his current standing. 

As it became clear he would not be extending his Chelsea stay, United swooped in and that has not gone down well with the fans. 

Mount faces backlash from Chelsea fans

Some Chelsea fans have accused Mount of only leaving for money and having no loyalty to his boyhood club who invested in him since he was 6 years old. 

Here are some of the posts from disappointed fans on Twitter

Despite how disappointing this is for Chelsea fans, it was clear Mount prioritised the best deal for himself in the same manner the Blues hierarchy believed they made the best financial choice. 

Time will tell if their decision to let the 24-year-old leave will be vindicated.
