Mason Mount: Fans Troll Manchester United Star for Ronaldinho Esque Gesture Before Palace Loss

• Crystal Palace thumped Manchester United 4-0 last night
• The Red Devils put out a depleted lineup due to injuries
• Mason Mount was handed a rare start by Erik ten Hag

Fans are trolling Mason Mount after the Manchester United midfielder made a gesture before the match, and fans think he was copying a football legend.

Mount was handed a rare start by Erik ten Hag after captain Bruno Fernandes missed out due to injury, the first game of his professional career missed due to fitness.

The former Chelsea midfielder played 80 minutes but had next to zero attacking contributions before Ivorian midfielder, Amad Diallo, replaced him.

Fans troll Mason Mount

As spotted by ESPN FC, the £60 million summer signing from Chelsea was all smiles during the pre-game formalities and was seen licking his lips, similar to football legend Ronaldinho during his time at AC Milan.

The gesture has made fans pile on him after his poor performance and the embarrassing 4-0 loss at Selhurst Park, which has put a serious dent in how the club could end the season.

Since moving to Manchester in the summer, his time at the club has not gone according to plan. He has struggled with injuries, and when he's fit, he looks totally out of place in the team.

Players Chelsea sold too early

Sports Brief analysed five players Chelsea sold too early during Todd Boehly’s mass clearout last summer, leading to the departure of 14 first-team stars.

Some of the players sold represented the core of the team and could have helped in the transition and ensured the passing on of the club's culture, which seems lost in the new team.
