Half of them have spent the past 3 years slagging him off for no good reason, that's why.

Done Deal.
Welcome to Manchester United Mason Mount
Ornstein: Done Dealio
It’s done
Done dealio!!!! Welcome son!!!
He’s gonna be quality.
Stupid money.
Ornstein is comfortably the most reliable British football journalist, who’s next after him?
Proven to be fools again by going over our final valuation. Stupid money for an above average midfielder.
me.
So obvious we would pay more, at least its done now
Bit of a rip off.
Finally, good transfer, decent money. Welcome lad! Haters will come around when they see how he works brilliant in ETH system.
Until then, let me see you seethe haters!

We've hardly bent over backwards. Chelsea lowered their asking price a lot and we stuck to our guns.
At this point Fabrizio is basically an aggregator.
So much for not raising our offer 
I genuinely thought that maybe we'd get him for £55m guaranteed with no add-ons or something similar to only pay them a maximum of £55m

We also raised our purchase price from 45m whats your point?
Finally! Over the moon with this!
Which blows away the myth of £100mSo much for not raising our offer

Budget
If I'd had to guess before the summer what Mount would go for I'd have said £50/55m. Ornstein was reporting weeks ago that we wanted to do a deal at around £55m. And I didn't seen anyone reporting he'd go for less than £50m. So £55m+5m is in the rough ballpark of all of that.
Main thing is we've got the manager's first choice midfield signing done before the end of June.

A good signing. Pity we caved in on the Utd tax though.
Way to stand firm lads
That we didn't just bend over for their asking price.
I mean we've mostly stuck to our valuation of £55m right now haven't we? The add-ons are described as "difficult" so hardly reasonable to include them in the fee as yet, seems fair to assume they will only be realised if he is a success.
Overpriced average player, United Tax and the club shows how they continue to capitulate.
Walk away.
IF his contract wasn’t running out next summer - what do you think his value is?
Hardly a Utd tax, it is just a extra 5 mil add on. Utd tax is usually much higher.
Simon Stone (and the BBC in general) are the most reliable but they'll never be the ones to break the news first.
A lot but feck it. Think he'll be really good for us.
Haha what guns did we stick to? We literally said take it or leave it in our last offer and yet here we are…
Disappointed we’ve caved and payed more than we said we would but happy we didn’t pay what Chelsea demanded and also the manager has got his first choice target. The most annoying part of all this is we’ve essentially funded their move for Caicedo who would’ve been an excellent addition to our squad.
No one would bother if that was the case.
Great signing!
Going to be surreal seeing him in a United shirt. Was considered chelsea through and through not so long ago.
Is that what I said we did?
At least it's a signing, sadly, no Caicedo then.
Yeah they are always safe and late to the party
