Since the British midfielder's arrival at Old Trafford, Manchester United have been buzzing with excitement and hope for next season, with much talk that Mount could be the answer Ten Hag has been waiting for and unable to get from other players. 


Another of the big surprises that occurred after his arrival was the shirt number he would occupy, it was believed that United would give the mythical No. 7 to the young Argentine, Alejandro Garnacho, and that Mason Mount would occupy the same number as with Chelsea, however, after being presented it would be announced that he would occupy the shirt of Cristiano Ronaldo, so many fans would be surprised.


After this great decision that the club made about Mount, the British midfielder would have said the following: "I know the history and I understand the responsibility that has this shirt. The most important thing for me is to earn their trust and I will work hard to do that - I won't let them down!"; this certainly reassures fans who hope to see Mason Mount succeed at Old Trafford and leave behind the players who have failed in that shirt.

The worst No.7s in United's history


Many players have come in with the promise of being big stars, for that reason the club would give them the opportunity to wear the mythical No.7 shirt but, in the end, they ended up disappointing all the fans, players like Angel Di Maria, Alexis Sanchez, Memphis Depay, Edison Cavani, are just a few who have not performed at the expected level.
