Mason Mount’s move from Chelsea to Manchester United has reportedly been questioned by a teammate for ‘not being for football reasons’.

Last summer, Mount left Stamford Bridge for Old Trafford in a deal worth a reported fee of £60 million.

However, the Englishman has had a tough start to life in Manchester as he has had to battle a long injury lay-off.

So far, Mount has only managed to make 12 appearances for United across all competitions.

The 25-year-old has registered one assist and zero goals since joining the club.

It has now been claimed that Mount’s move has been viewed as not for football reasons.

As reported by Manchester Evening News, a source close to one of Mount’s United teammates claimed that his move was not for football reasons.

Shortly after joining United, Mount said: “It’s never easy leaving the club where you grew up, but Manchester United will provide an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career. Having competed against them, I know just how strong a squad it is that I’m joining, and I can’t wait to be part of this group’s drive to win major trophies.

“Everyone can see that the club has made big steps forward under Erik ten Hag. Having met with the manager and discussed his plans, I couldn’t be more excited for the seasons ahead, and am ready for the hard work expected here.”

Speaking back in September, former Chelsea and England captain John Terry said: “There's another side to the story. Let's not be too harsh on him when he comes back.”

Mount was spotted back in training ahead of United’s FA Cup quarter-final clash against Liverpool, which will take place at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Giving an update on Mount’s fitness before United’s 2-0 win over Everton last weekend, manager Erik ten Hag said: “Mason Mount I think he is in a good spell now and he will return shortly, I think after the international break.”
