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’.
