Chelsea news as supporters enjoy Mason Mount's recent antics for Manchester United in their pre-season win over RC Lens
Chelsea have endured another period of change this summer. Mauricio Pochettino has overseen a overhaul of his playing squad at Stamford Bridge as a result of Todd Boehly's heavy spending.
14 players have left the club, so far. Kai Havertz joined London rivals Arsenal for £65million, with Kalidou Koulibaly (Al-Hilal), Christian Pulisic (AC Milan), Edouard Mendy (Al-Ahli), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (AC Milan), N'Golo Kante (Al Ittihad), Cesar Azpilicueta (Atletico Madrid) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Marseille) all ending their time at the club.
Mount, who signed a five-year contract in Manchester, has featured throughout United's pre-season schedule. And on Saturday, the England international made his Old Trafford debut against Ligue 1 outfit RC Lens.
The home crowd were in good spirits after United confirmed the £72million signing of striker Rasmus Hojlund, but the atmosphere quickly changed in a matter of minutes.
Mount was handed a golden opportunity to open his account for Man United. Alejandro Garnacho played the ball across Brice Samba's goal for Mount to tap home just seven yards from goal, but he failed to connect with his strike and the ball ran away from him.
United eventually ran-out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford, Antony and Casemiro. However, as expected, Chelsea supporters were quick to poke fun at Mount's miss.
Here's an example of what they had to say on social media...
@cfc_janty: HOW DID MOUNT NOT SCORE
@CFCBlues_com: I still can't believe we got £60m for Mount
@ofalamin: To a Chelsea fan, this isn't surprising at all
@rappo_oosa: What I love to see.
@CFC_Zanny: No way Mount missed an open goal
@ChelseKidHG: The flop of the season contender is absolutely Mason Mount
@CFCPochEra: Mason Mount at his finest
