MANCHESTER UNITED fans went wild for a cheeky dig at Chelsea after the signing of Mason Mount was confirmed.
The boyhood Blue has finally completed his move to Manchester in a deal worth £60million.
United confirmed the news and released pictures of Mount in red for the first time.
And in one post, they appeared to aim a little swipe at Chelsea with the caption: “Red is the colour.”
Fans are convinced it was a nod to Chelsea’s popular “Blue is the colour” chant which is often sang around Stamford Bridge.
One said: “United taking their best player and then trolling them. Top banter haha.”
