MANCHESTER UNITED fans are fearing an awkward encounter between new signing Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez.
Mount is on the verge of completing a £55million move from Chelsea after agreeing terms on a contract believed to be worth £250,000 a week.
The England star turned down the offer of a new deal at Chelsea and is set to link up with his new United team-mates after arriving at Carrington today.
And he could face an awkward encounter with Martinez after clashing with the defender during a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge last season.

Mount then went head-to-head with Martinez before his England team-mate Luke Shaw pushed him away to defuse the situation.
The pair could re-unite today as Mount finalises the final few details of his transfer from Chelsea.
United saw their first THREE bids for Mount rejected by the Blues - who were commanding a high fee despite his contract expiring in 2024.
But a meeting last week finally saw a breakthrough in negotiations.
