CHELSEA fans have labelled Mason Mount a “snake” after footage of him in the Manchester United dressing room emerged.
Mount, 24, quit the Blues this week to join the Red Devils in a £60million move.
The England ace was handed United’s iconic No7 shirt upon his arrival, and was subsequently recorded being shown around Old Trafford.
In one clip doing the rounds on social media, the midfielder can be seen sitting in the dressing room with his arm around his dad Tony.
His dad said: “Mason, this dressing room man. Home mate, home.
“Who would have thought, when I bought you up here as a little boy?”
Mount then replied: “I know, special init.”
Chelsea fans online have fumed at their former hero.
One blasted: “Came in a boy, left as a snake. Thank you for nothing Mason Mount.”
While a second slammed: “We all called Courtois snake and now Mickey Mouse Mount is a bigger snake. Let it sink.”

And a third wrote: “Little rat. Mason “Snake” Mount.”
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.”
