Chelsea captain Reece James APPLAUDS Man United midfielder Mason Mount as he came on to a chorus of boos against former club

Reece James appeared to applaud Mason Mount during Chelsea's dramatic 4-3 win over Manchester United on Thursday.

Mount made his first return to Stamford Bridge since leaving his boyhood club to join United last summer in a £60million move.

His introduction in the second-half was greeted with jeers and boos, with some Blues supporters appearing to believe Mount was something of a 'traitor'.

However, Reece James looked to have clapped for his former team-mate as he made his way onto the pitch.

The Blues captain was sat behind the bench as he continues his recovery from a long layoff after suffering a hamstring injury.
