“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.”
Mount's move to Man Utd is confirmed after he released a video message on Instagram on Tuesday night announcing his departure from Chelsea.
He joined Chelsea as a six-year-old and went on to graduate through their academy.
He made 129 Premier League appearances for the Blues, scoring 27 goals and producing 22 assists.
Mount also provided the pass for Kai Havertz’s winner as Chelsea beat Manchester City 1-0 in the 2021 UEFA Champions League final, adding the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup to his list of club honours.
