Several Manchester United stars made one last trip to Monaco for the Formula 1 Grand Prix after celebrating their FA Cup title victory over Man City well into the early hours of Sunday morning.
Mason Mount was among those who arrived at the Monte Carlo circuit on Sunday and was kitted out in a virtually all-white ensemble as he was invited to the most glamorous race of the year as a guest of Red Bull.
But it was not one of his Man United colleagues that Mount was joined in the paddock, but instead attended the event with his former Chelsea colleague Ben Chilwell.
The pair have remained close friends since Mount left Stamford Bridge in a £60 million move to Old Trafford last summer and appeared to be enjoying themselves in the hot Monaco sun.
Mount and Chilwell are now at the start of their post-season break and neither is selected in Gareth Southgate’s provisional 33-man squad ahead of the upcoming European Championship.

Mount’s post-season break is now underway after he failed to be included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
Mount endured a difficult first season at United – where he was handed the club’s legendary No.7 shirt upon arrival – struggling with numerous injuries and making just 20 appearances in all competitions, scoring just one goal in the passage.
However, he was fit to play a part in Saturday’s Wembley showdown and came off the bench in the third minute of stoppage time as manager Erik ten Hag looked to run down the clock.
Meanwhile, many of Mount’s United colleagues were also in attendance as Diogo Dalot partnered Brazilian winger Antony on the grid.
Dalot has been one of the club’s best players this season and was recently crowned United’s player of the season.
He also played a vital role in this weekend’s FA Cup triumph and was in good spirits as he wandered among the various Formula 1 cars, taking a moment to speak with Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle.
United’s Diogo Dalot was also in attendance as he watched a Formula 1 race for the first time.
It was the first time Dalot had the opportunity to properly share his feelings after his Wembley interview was ended prematurely by United captain Bruno Fernandes.
Dalot gave his verdict on his side’s FA Cup triumph, saying: “It went very well. It’s the best way to end the season and now it feels good to come here as an FA Cup winner.
He continued to explain how Monaco was his first experience in F1, adding: “It’s my first time. I couldn’t choose a better place to come and it’s an incredible experience. I hope I enjoy the race.
Other football superstars were also on hand for the race, with Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, with Kylian Mbappe also admiring the super-rich surroundings.
