Frank Lampard talks about Chelsea star Mason Mount moving to Manchester United

Frank Lampard, the former Chelsea manager, has finally shared his thoughts on Mason Mount and his decision to leave the club and join Manchester United. In an exclusive interview on Steven Bartlett’s ‘Diary of a CEO podcast,‘ Lampard expressed his belief that the young English talent will thrive at his new club.

For years, Mount appeared destined to become the face of Chelsea Football Club, a beacon of hope and promise at Stamford Bridge. However, this summer, he surprised many by securing a move to Old Trafford, leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of Blues fans.

Mount recently made his debut for Manchester United in a preseason match against Leeds, where he impressed in his new number-eight role. Lampard admitted that he would have preferred if Mason Mount had stayed with Chelsea but remains optimistic about his success.

Here is what Lampard had to say about a player he adored a lot and what he expects from him at Manchester United this season

“He’s a great signing for you [Manchester United]. It’s a complicated one. In the end, he’s got a year left on his contract. What I’ll say about Mason is, all the things I’ve said about modern players and the way the game has changed, he is a throwback to the attitude and commitment.”

During Lampard’s tenure as Chelsea manager, he had the pleasure of working closely with Mason Mount, witnessing firsthand the young player’s unwavering dedication and work ethic. Mount embodied the true essence of a professional footballer, consistently giving his all in training and on the pitch.

The presence of Mount will raise the level of performance and commitment among his teammates, thereby elevating the team as a whole. His quality as a player is unbelievable and it shows that the Red Devils were willing to pay all the big bucks for him.

Undoubtedly, Mount had envisioned a long and successful career at Chelsea. However, circumstances, particularly his contract situation, led to his move to Manchester United. Lampard recognizes the significance of this new challenge for Mount and views it as an opportunity for personal growth.

It will be intriguing to observe the reaction of the Chelsea faithful, who had supported and believed in him during his time at the club. Mount’s journey with Manchester United promises excitement and growth, and Lampard’s endorsement serves as a testament to the young player’s potential and dedication.
