Owen and Mount. Guess we have given up hyping the 7 shirt
Anyone who is ‘disgusted’ needs to get a grip on their livesLegacy.
Best, Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo
Now it's seems it's for the average player. It's what we get now, Owen, Valencia, Mason bloody Mount.
He is average at best, so to see him wearing 7 suggests no one cares about the past history of that number.
Can see why some don't care, and why others are disgusted.
I'm referencing this Athletic tweet where they're hamming up the jeopardy involved in getting the deal done.PR this. PR THAT! No good news ever exists it’s all PR I tell you! Believe NOTHING! (unless it’s bad news then we’re balls deep in that)
Absolutely. The facts are the facts.You really believe that stuff?
Maybe he has a point, it did after all kill Ronaldo's legacy the second time roundYou really believe that stuff?
That’s exactly why I think it should be earn’t.
Might be the fact they are both a bit bland but this signing reminds of the Maguire deal more than any other.It's a strange move from the club.
There is still a big no7 cult and you've just thrown him under the bus.
Not far off giving Maguire the armband after 4 months.
Of course he is. We’re trying to squeeze Onana and Hojlund for 40m a piece and then that’s us done.#7 also means he's sold as our marquee signing for this summer, I'd understand more if he got 10 and Rashy the 7, weird choice.

Did Michael Owen and Sanchez earn it?
it’s a fecking number who cares
"If you're not alive then you're dead"What? Michael Owen is dead??
Legacy.

As players or personality? I think personality wise, Mount comes across as a great guy that will be well liked in the dressing room and by fans. I'm not a big fan of him as a player but wouldn't consider Mount as a bland personality.Might be the fact they are both a bit bland but this signing reminds of the Maguire deal more than any other.
Quality meltdown.It might be a fecking number at other clubs but not for us, the number 7 to us means more than just a number, it means what the Number 10 means to Barca, it's means the most creative and electrifying player within our ranks.
Yes over the last 15yrs we've had players not fit to wear it, but that can't take away what the likes of Best, Cantona and Ronaldo(1st stint) did wearing that Number.
Imo this is a mistake that follows a long line of mistakes in regards with this number over the last decade or So, Mason Mount our Number 7, Piff give me a break,
I mean a player who isn't worth the amount of money we've just spent on him, a Player who isn't amazing at basically anything...?
I hope he proves me wrong but I strongly doubt it, best bet is in a year time he'll be demanding a shirt change Valencia style.
Garnacho for me was the obvious choice!
Maybe he feels it will keep Garnacho's feet on the ground. Giving him the 7 at his age and inexperienced might be more of a hindrance than help for him.what the hell.. gutted for Garna

Let's see. Half the caf was adamant Eriksen was going to play 10 and it was very obvious he'd play in the CM pair because he'd played the role before for a prolonged period of his career and that was were the need was. ETH signing Mount who has never, bar the odd game, played in the role you seem to think he will is bold. I mean Antony is excellent off the ball, it doesn't mean he can play CM. Eriksen actually plays CM and positionally doesn't need to be that advanced, Mount doesn't have his passing range so it's intriguing if he then is going to be paired with the most loose player positionally we have in Bruno as 8's.You think the current incarnation of Eriksen starts over Mount? And you worry that we will be more of a "disaster waiting to happen"??
Mount is excellent defensively off the ball and Eriksen is nearly non existent. I wish you could explain to me how you worked that one out.
You lot are amazing.
I don't particularly care either but rightly or wrongly, there is a degree of added pressure from the fans and media associated to wearing the no.7 shirt for United.I don’t care that much about shirt number OCD. It’s just a number at the end of the day.
People will lose their minds if Onana joins and he picks No.24 instead of No.1.
Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, Best, more than just a number.Omg, the amount of people crying over the fact he got given the number 7, its just a number,
£12 a week, think he gets time and a half if it's a Sunday kick offReally weird giving him the 7.
Doesn’t feel right.
What are his wages?
Mount will start ahead of Eriksen. I like the latter but defenders waltz past him for fun whereas Mount is quite a complete footballer.If everyone is fit I think our strongest line up still includes Eriksen over Mount - he's definitely upgradeable with someone like Caceido but I struggle to see it with Mount because he's just never really played that role and I doubt you can just slot into it despite being a very intelligent player. Case on his own (any player to be honest on their own) is super high risk. If we do see him there we are going to have to dominate the ball to the a similar level as City do because that midfield three in transition (Case/Mount/Bruno) is a disaster waiting to happen if we don't.
I can see Rashford being our 9 this season and Mount starting LW. For me we'd lack a lot of pace in the attack that way given Bruno, Mount and Antony are not that fast. Only other thing I guess we aren't discussing is Antony getting dropped for Mount given there are rumours he's got this reoccurring ankle issue so we'd have Rashford - Martial - Mount as a front three.
Varane is 19.Regardless of what you think about Mount as a player, a midfielder wearing #7 just looks wrong. Our squad numbers genuinely set off my OCD. I hated when Baily was #3 and that Lindelof is #2.
The correct numbers should be
Varane #4
Dalot/AWB #2
Shaw #3
Mount #19
Garnacho #7
Does it actually matter? No
Does it still annoy me? Absolutely
Mes que un numeroRobson, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, Best, more than just a number.
