Mason Mount’s £60million exit to Manchester United has caused concern among some supporters but Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is comfortable with his exit.

“He is a Manchester United player now. He left the club but I don’t know what happened in the past,” Pochettino said. “I don’t want to talk about that.

“I want to focus and show respect for our players who really commit to moving on, try to provide a journey and provide the team and the club to win trophies and lift them.”

Pochettino is happy with the work done by Chelsea’s two sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stuart in trimming the Chelsea squad.

He added: “When I was outside and didn’t know about Chelsea, I was hearing different opinions about the squad being too big.

“Always it is always a fresh start with players, people come in, they go out some players. It was a really big squad last season and, normally, the club try to reduce the number of players. I trust in Paul and Laurence.

“I said ‘you know better than me’. But from day one, first of July, I will be more informed.”
