Mason Mount returns to Stamford Bridge tonight when Manchester United take on Chelsea in the Premier League.
Not everyone will be delighted to see Mason Mount come back to the Bridge after the attacking midfielder left Chelsea for their rivals last summer.
It certainly will be interesting to see what kind of reception he gets from the home supporters.
Mount’s start to life at United has been difficult because of injury, but he was able to score his first goal for the club against Brentford last Saturday.
Some close to the 25-year-old have now shared how they expect him to react if he follows up his strike with another tonight. Mount is not thought to be happy about some of the things that have been said about his Chelsea exit.
What Mason Mount plans to do if he scores against Chelsea
Things obviously did not end well between Mount and Chelsea, but that does not change the fact that he was at the club for years.
The Englishman came through the academy there; he had a deep connection with the Blues.
He now, of course, plays for one of Chelsea’s biggest rivals. However, it does not look like Mount wants to upset anyone.
According to The Telegraph, those who know Mount well are confident that he will show respect for his former club if he dispatches against them later.
Chelsea’s danger men for Manchester United game
With Mount fit again, he is one player who Erik ten Hag will look to tonight in his bid to take all three points back to Old Trafford.
As for Chelsea, Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson are probably the two men Mauricio Pochettino will be pinning his hopes on.
They are Chelsea’s two top scorers this season, netting 13 and nine goals in the Premier League respectively.
Palmer is having a stunning campaign, though Rio Ferdinand would not put him alongside someone like Jude Bellingham just yet.
