Yep. If anything this is a wise choice to at least bring some potential long term consistency to the number. Imagine if it had gone to Sancho

7 should have been Garnacho's
Lads, Michael Owen wore the 7 Who cares
Who caresI am amazed in 2023, after all the dog shit the number 7 shirt has gone through, people still seem so invested.
You mean the lad who just left his beloved boyhood team?Yep. If anything this is a wise choice to at least bring some potential long term consistency to the number. Imagine if it had gone to Sancho
England has a ridiculous team when you think about it. Mount and Bellingham at 8, Rice at 6, Rashford and Saka on the winger, Harry up top, Walker and Shaw at fullback, Maguire and Stones in defense and bench options to boot. Shame Southgate won't put it together.
You're wound up about a shirt number.
its a positive signing and i'm just glad its one the Erik really seemed to want.
As for the unveiling we have come a long ways since 'Pianoman', the Glazers must be holding back the production money and put Mason M in the broom cupboard with a bit of old carpet

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.

Don't be ashamed of your thick comment, just own it.
On Twitter mostly. Most level headed people realise we've got much bigger things on the agenda.
It's a fantastic signing. And before the start of preseason. Now get the GK situation sorted quickly and we can start the preseason on the right foot. I've a feeling striker's gonna happen at the end of the window anyway.
WTFThe 7 is still meaningful but let's pretend otherwise just not to criticise any decisions the club make.
He'll need a top return to his former form to justify getting it. I prefer it as a reward for a player who shows he has the style to demand it.
Sigh. Should've been Garnacho. He was twerking for it and was the perfect type of player for it too. Giving it to a central mid is weird.
Getting the no. 7 takes the piss
what the hell.. gutted for Garna
You what
Number 7???? To a midfielder?? Ffs.
Used to wear no7, idolised Ronaldo. He probably wanted it.
Aye I am very big defender of everything the club does, in fact I love the Glazers too. I'm allowed as an adult who has witnessed shirt numbers to not be overly fussed, if anything it's a better move than most of the other choices over the last what 10+ years!
Such a disappointing signing, and to see him with number 7 makes it worse.
Surprised at Mount getting the #7 but I never wanted Garnacho getting it so soon and Sancho doesn't deserve it.
Seems an odd squad number when he plays more central, but when Mount starts whipping in goals and assists from set-pieces, it will suit him better.

And lite Valencia and Sanchez and Depay and one who didnt even want to be here and got robbed.Lads, Michael Owen wore the 7
I take this back. It seems this place cares a lot about a shirt number too.
Owen will ALWAYS be my number 7.
CL winner and international player gets shirt #7. But nah, feck the club, should've given it to a kid who may or may not make it at United. Some will moan about anything
Do people still get upset about shirt numbers, really?
Do people not know who Bryan Robson was or something?
Good for him if that’s what he wanted, hope he plays well in it. Thougu I’m not that bothered that he got the 7, more so surprised, i would have thought the club would have had the foresight to see they might have had something special with Garnacho 7 if he proved himself beyond this season, but considering how young Mount is, even if Garnacho becomes a star he will likely never get 7 at this club now

£100m if his contract wasn't expiring in a year? Christ on a bike. English tax is mad. There's no way in hell this lad is worth anything close to what Rice is.
Not yet
Welcome to United, Mount! Always thought he was a player that could do a bit of everything, albeit not at a super high level. If EtH can take him up a level it would make him a very well-rounded player.
The number 7 is a surprise. Although he can't be worse than the last guy that wore it.

Garnacho will get no. 11.
He’s an improvement on what we have and why do you care so much about number 7? We literally don’t have anyone else to give it to
a waste of fifty five million, is this some kind of generational curse?
From The Athletic
He is set to be paid more than £200,000 per week, potentially rising to at least £250,000 per week with bonuses — in the same ballpark as the deal Chelsea had originally offered, as well as a rival proposal put forward by Liverpool.

I am so pissed off seeing him with that 7, i was not really sold of him in our team cause i have never seen him had a good game and then they give central midfielder nr 7…. Give him 19 move Varane to 4 and everything is perfect, give 7 to Garnacho is it really so hard ? FFS
The shirt number doesn’t annoy me. I didn’t feel Garnacho is ready for all the hype which comes with it. The last few 7s haven’t been successful anyway, hopefully this changes with Mount.
He’s better for us than Rice. Between Rice and Casmeiro we’d struggle to get out of our half.
#7 shirt….! Don’t care if you think it’s only a number but the number 7 has to be earned surely….?
