“Two reasons” – Why Mason Mount has hardly done any interviews since leaving Chelsea
Reports have shed light on Mason Mount’s reluctance to engage in media duties since departing Chelsea last summer.
According to ESPN, the circumstances surrounding his exit from Stamford Bridge have contributed to his hesitance to participate in interviews after joining Manchester United.
Mount’s unexpected transfer to Old Trafford surprised many, especially considering his pivotal role in Chelsea’s Champions League victory less than three years ago. Initially touted as the future face of Chelsea, the club now looks to Cole Palmer, following the 21-year-old’s exceptional debut season.
Cole Palmer: Chelsea’s New Leading Figure
While Mount has faced challenges in his first season at United, he recently found the net in their 1-1 draw against Burnley, marking his first goal since the move.
As Mount prepares to return to Stamford Bridge for the first time since his departure, reports have emerged regarding his sentiments towards the club he grew up supporting and the circumstances of his exit.
Lingering Pain
Allegedly, Mount remains hurt by the circumstances surrounding his departure, with some portraying him as leaving solely for financial gain. The wounds from leaving Chelsea still feel fresh, leading to his reluctance to engage in interviews.
The reaction from the Chelsea faithful towards the England international, whether he starts or comes off the bench, will be closely watched. While some fans may have distanced themselves from Mount, many still hold him in high regard for his past contributions to the club.
