As Mason Mount entered the match in the 86th minute, the visitors appeared poised for a dramatic victory, with Manchester United having rallied from a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead. However, Chelsea supporters swiftly made their sentiments known regarding their former player. Mount, who had been with the club since he was just six years old in 2005, spending 18 years there before transferring to Old Trafford in a £55 million deal last summer, faced resounding boos as he took to the field. Every subsequent touch of the ball by Mount was met with jeers from the crowd.
Mount’s cameo was a difficult one as he replaced Alejandro Garnacho with United 3-2 ahead and then watched on as Chelsea snatched two late goals to win the game. The United midfielder was also on the receiving end of a barrage of insults from his former Chelsea teammate Fernandez. According to ESPN Argentina, Fernandez screamed at Mount: ‘This is Chelsea.’ The Argentine midfielder also repeatedly shouted ‘cagon’ to Mount, which translates from Spanish to English as ‘coward’.
