Fans are fearing awkward reunion for Mason Mount in Man Utd training as row with Red Devils star resurfaces

The England star turned down the offer of a new deal at Chelsea and is set to link up with his new United team-mates after arriving at Carrington today.

And he could face an awkward encounter with Martinez after clashing with the defender during a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge last season.

The pair tussled over the ball with Mount penalised for fouling the Argentine.

Martinez then shoved Mount in his chest, sparking a furious reaction from the 24-year-old.

Mount then went head-to-head with Martinez before his England team-mate Luke Shaw pushed him away to defuse the situation.

The pair could re-unite today as Mount finalises the final few details of his transfer from Chelsea.

United saw their first THREE bids for Mount rejected by the Blues – who were commanding a high fee despite his contract expiring in 2024.

But a meeting last week finally saw a breakthrough in negotiations.
