“I know I scored a beautiful goal but you were the best player today, I can’t believe you have played your last game for us”: Mason Mount drops emotional bombshell after United’s win over Sunderland

BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United’s 2-0 victory over Sunderland at Old Trafford was supposed to be about Mason Mount’s stunning strike and Benjamin Sesko’s clinical finish, but the headlines have taken a shocking twist. Instead of celebrating his own goal, United’s number 9, Mason Mount, turned the spotlight on a departing teammate, leaving fans stunned with an emotional post-match revelation.

As Mount walked off the pitch to the roar of the Stretford End, he delivered a message that has rocked the United faithful:

> “I know I scored a beautiful goal, but you were the best player today. I can’t believe you have played your last game for us.”

The words were directed not at Sesko or any of the forwards, but to ONE player who quietly gave his all against Sunderland and is now reportedly on his way out of Old Trafford.

🔴 Who is the mystery man?

Reports from inside the dressing room suggest that the emotional tribute was aimed at a senior figure who has been at the heart of Manchester United’s struggles and resurgence. The identity has not yet been officially revealed, but whispers point towards a player who started against Sunderland and played like a warrior despite knowing it would be his final appearance.

Some fans speculate it could be a long-serving midfielder whose future has been clouded by transfer talks. Others believe it may be a defender whose contract situation has been hanging in the balance for months. Whoever it is, Mount’s words confirm the end of an era for one United star.

⚽ Match overshadowed by farewell

Manchester United sealed the win with Mount’s precise opener and Sesko’s powerful finish. Sunderland threatened briefly but were denied by VAR when a penalty was overturned, and Old Trafford celebrated their first clean sheet of the season. But instead of basking in glory, Mount used his moment to highlight the sacrifice of his teammate.

Fans online immediately reacted:

“This is bigger than the result. Whoever Mason is talking about deserves a proper send-off.”

“He was immense today. Can’t believe this was his last game.”

“Mount showing leadership. Respect.”

🚨 A transfer exit confirmed?

United insiders claim the player in question has already agreed terms with a new club and that Sunderland was indeed his farewell outing. Management is expected to make an official announcement in the coming days.

Mount’s emotional statement has now sparked debate about loyalty, leadership, and the heart of the dressing room. For United fans, the 2-0 victory will be remembered not just for the goals but as the day one of their own was quietly bid farewell by a teammate who wasn’t afraid to speak the truth.
