A video clip of a conversation between newly signed Manchester United player Mason Mount and his father in the Old Trafford dressing room has emerged.

Mason Mount ended his 18-year association with boyhood club Chelsea this week. After completing his medical at Carrington on Monday, the midfielder penned a five-year contract at Manchester United worth a reported £250,000 per week. United have since posted a behind-the-scenes look at Mount’s first moments at the club via their official YouTube channel.
From meeting new teammate Lisandro Martinez to looking around Old Trafford, the England international looks genuinely excited to be a Manchester United player following his £55 million move.
As you can see in the dressing room footage above, Mason Mount can be seen sitting next to his father, Tony, who played a crucial role in the transfer.
“Mason…this dressing room man….home mate, HOME,” Tony says. “Who would have thought aye, when I brought you up here as a little boy…”
Mason Mount then replies: “I know. Special isn’t it.”

Mason opened up about the transfer in an interview with United’s official website this week.
“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,” he said.
“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.
“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.”
