Bruno Fernandes uses fight with Mason Mount to welcome new teammate to Manchester United
Bruno Fernandes brilliantly welcomed Mason Mount to Manchester United by using throwback images from a scuffle with the England international. Mount completed a £55million move to Old Trafford on Wednesday after talks broke down over a contract extension at Chelsea. Mount signed a five-year deal at Old Trafford on WednesdayGettyFernandes will be accompanied by Mount in United’s midfield next seasonGettyThe 24-year-old is boss Erik ten Hag’s first major signing of the summer and a firm statement of intent as United look to build on last season’s third-place finish. Midfielder Bruno Fernandes was quick to welcome the club’s newest recruit on Wednesday and did so with a brilliant Instagram post. The Portuguese midfielder posted two images of himself in battle with Mount with both players pulling at each other shirts from a previous Manchester United vs Chelsea fixture. Fernandes then added the caption: “ Why did you take so long to sign,” alongside an angry face emoji. He then goes on to say: “Welcome Mason Mount.” The switch will provide Ten Hag with further creativity and an added goalscoring threat as United face both domestic and Champions League commitments next season. The Three Lions star links up with fellow England internationals Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire in his new surroundings. Speaking about his transfer Mount told Manchester United’s official website: “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. Fernandes humorously welcomed Mount to Old Trafford“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. “I am hugely ambitious; I know how amazing it feels to win major trophies and what it takes to do it. I will be giving everything to experience that again at Manchester United.”
