Another added: “mount, havertz and jorginho, the 3 snakes carried to a champions league by real legends like azpi, rudiger and kante.”
After signing for United, Mount reiterated that he was a Portsmouth fan as a kid – not a Chelsea supporter.
His dad Tony took to to Old Trafford to watch his beloved team in 2008 – witnessing Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible free-kick.
Speaking to United’s media team, Mount said: “I was probably around 10, I was there in the away end, supporting my team Pompey and was able to witness that special moment.
“I think that video of me taking the free-kick [for Chelsea’s academy] was after that day.
“It inspired me and seeing that moment at Old Trafford, in the away end, I was in awe of that situation and that iconic moment. I’d love to now replicate it.”
