Manchester United have revealed Mason Mount’s new shirt number, while Alejandro Garnacho has been passed over for the job of Cristiano Ronaldo’s replacement.

Mason Mount has been announced as the club’s newest new addition, and he has been assigned an iconic shirt number at Old Trafford.

Mason Mount, who joined Manchester United from Chelsea for £60 million ($76 million), will wear the No.7 shirt at Old Trafford. The Red Devils contemplated giving it to Alejandro Garnacho, but Mount will take it on and follow in the footsteps of luminaries like as Cristiano Ronaldo, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, and Bryan Robson.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The No.7 shirt at Manchester United has been vacant since Ronaldo departed for Saudi side Al-Nassr in January, but now has a new owner. United fans will be hoping that Mount can live up to expectations and deliver in one of the most famous shirts in world football. Many big names have found it hard to impress in the iconic No.7 at Old Trafford, most recently Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani and Alexis Sanchez.

AND WHAT’S MORE: Mount wore the No.19 at Stamford Bridge but has worn the 7 previously in his career. The midfielder has used the number while playing for England and also as a youngster, featuring for Chelsea’s Under-23 side during the 2016-17 season.
