Johnson – Mount Is Regretting Leaving Chelsea
Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson, has revealed that Mason Mount is regretting leaving Chelsea for Manchester United.
Recall that Mount left Stamford Bridge to join the Red Devils this summer, with only a year left on his contract.
With the England international yet to find his best form, Johnson in a chat with Betfred, stated that the player is currently questioning his decision to leave the club.
“At the moment he will be,” ex-Chelsea and Liverpool defender Glen told when asked whether Mount will be regretting his decision to join United.
“Manchester United are a very big football club, but you don’t join them in the expectation that you’re going to be part of a team that’s tenth in the Premier League.
“You only want to go there to challenge for major honours, and I know that Chelsea aren’t in a better position at this very moment, but you don’t move to Old Trafford in the expectation that you’re going to struggle.
“I don’t know why he decided to leave Chelsea, but I’m sure he’s questioning his decision at this very moment.”
Mount has been a close friend of fellow England international Declan Rice since childhood. Mount supports Portsmouth, citing former Portsmouth players such as Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe and Nwankwo Kanu as his footballing heroes whilst growing up. He attended Purbrook Park School. In 2021, Mount became a patron of the charity Together for Short Lives.
Mount was the victim of a campaign of harassment by TikToker Orla Melissa Sloan between 2021 and 2023, along with former team-mate Billy Gilmour. Sloan was convicted of stalking the pair in June 2023, as well as of harassment against Ben Chilwell. She was given a suspended prison term.
