Mason Mount’s Farewell Message to Chelsea Fans Sparks Controversy
Mason Mount’s heartfelt message to Chelsea fans didn’t quite hit the spot with a number of supporters after claims that the video was filmed ‘weeks ago’. The midfielder released a video on his social media channels on Tuesday night to confirm his exit from the club to Manchester United. Mount expressed how ‘grateful’ he was to supporters, the club and the managers he worked under during his 18 years at Stamford Bridge. While many fans applauded the personal nature of the video, some were more sceptical.
Mount appeared with bleached blond hair during the video as he sported a look that he adopted less than a month ago when the season finished. However, Mount was pictured in Manchester 48 hours ago with brown hair – in a return to his traditional look. Chelsea rejected three bids from United for Mount and it’s been no secret that the midfielder’s been desperate to force through a move to Old Trafford.
Mount debuted his new bleached look on June 11th and kept it as negotiations between Chelsea and United rumbled on. But, with Mount returning to his traditional look at least 48 hours ago and with the transfer not yet officially confirmed, Chelsea fans have accused the midfielder of having the exit video ‘saved in his drafts’.
The controversy surrounding Mason Mount’s farewell message has been a hot topic on social media, with many fans expressing their disbelief at the timing of his video. Some have gone as far as to suggest that the video was filmed weeks ago and saved in his drafts, ready to be released when the transfer was confirmed.
The speculation has been further fuelled by the fact that Mount was pictured in Manchester 48 hours ago with brown hair – a return to his traditional look. This has led many to believe that the video was filmed before negotiations between Chelsea and United had concluded, and that Mount had pre-empted his move to Old Trafford.
The controversy surrounding Mason Mount’s farewell message has caused a stir amongst Chelsea fans, with many questioning the timing of the video and whether it was pre-recorded. While it is impossible to know for sure, it is clear that many fans are unhappy with what they perceive as an insincere message from the midfielder.
It is also worth noting that while Mount may have been desperate to force through a move to Manchester United, Chelsea rejected three bids for him and it is unclear whether he would have been allowed to leave had negotiations not concluded in his favour.
Regardless of the controversy surrounding Mason Mount’s farewell message, it is clear that the midfielder will be remembered fondly by Chelsea fans for his 18 years of service at Stamford Bridge. He will be remembered for his hard work and dedication on the pitch, as well as for his loyalty and commitment to the club.
