Erik ten Hag looked delighted to welcome his first signing to Carrington in the latest footage shared by Manchester United.
After two rejected bids and several weeks of negotiations, Ten Hag finally has his man. Mason Mount is a Red.
He’s made the switch from Chelsea after 18 years of being associated with the London club and will now look to add to his already impressive honours list at Old Trafford, as Ten Hag continues to build on his resurgent project in M16.
The England international met with the manager to put pen to paper on his five-year contract, with both looking equally as pleased to have got the deal over the line.

In a video shared by the United Twitter account, the Dutch boss tells his new midfielder: “I want you to be a very important player for this team.”
Mount then replies: “Thank you very much. Cheers gaffer, thank you. Got to get on the pitch now – get my boots on!”
Sealed with a handshake 🤝#MUFC
