Doesn't seem right to me, should have been Amad or Garnacho.
Mount should have taken the vacant 13 or 15 number.

Mason Mount's Misfortune
- Thread starter horsechoker

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
He will run until he pukes to be worthy of that shirt. I don’t think we’ll regret it.
Wow! Didnt know Mount scored 58 and assisted nearly as much in such as small space of time and particularly, from a midfield position.
That’s pretty much my point…
Very funny.
Why so much negativity? The games last season we lost, was alot down to application and being outfought. Mount brings energy and tenacity which we need in midfield.
If Ten Hag wanted him, I back him.

It’s all over Instagram & Twitter mate. He’s literally throwing on the shirt with a number 7 on it….
The short vid of him chatting with EtH...aww i've missed the heh heh after every sentence.
Glad United are backing EtH and giving him the team he wants.

Maybe this makes me less of a United fan or something but I stopped giving a shit about how mythical the no.7 is. We ve probably had more disappointment wearing that number than not so hopefully Mason can break the mold. I'm sure Mason is very much aware of the expectations of the number regardless, so let's hope this means he is up for it.
Quite funny that he got number seven, properly laughed seeing it at first because you just know it will wind up all the worst people. It’s not exactly inspiring in what was already set up to be a bad window. On the other hand it is fun when Ten Hag clearly doesn’t give a hoot about optics and just makes big decisions based entirely on what he thinks is going to lead to the best outcome.
It’s really not any worse than when Michael Owen got it.

Good player to get at Man utd, and ETH and the coaching staff will work with him. The No 7 shirt suggests that he has been bought to play, so I would see this as seeing Bruno maybe in a more fluid, outside forward role, as he played a few times last season, because I still see Eriksen playing, as he should.
This all places an emphasis our right back (who will need to get forward...) and getting that No 9 in.
Hope we can get other targets, and also, I hope we can get some sqaud players moved on. It's interesting right, big expensive players across Europe, not happy at their clubs and no one wants to buy them (and pay their extortionate wages..).. Mbappe, Neymar... to Maguire, Martial, Sancho... sure there's a few more.

I'm looking forward to see him play, I think he'll do well for us.
Little moments like that cannot be underestimated. Mount will run through every wall for him now.
I thought the shirt was earmarked by Garnacho... oh well, we could always have given it to Maguire or WW

All this fuss over a shirt number.
I missed ETH - trust him 100% on the MM signing.
Januzaj? Wasn't he number 11?
I too trust EtH with this signing. He doesn't have to be world class, we are gradually building strength in depth.
Welcome Man Mountain Mason.
Cue 10 pages of RAWK-ish whining about a shirt number.

We've gone from McFred to a midfield of Bruno-Mount-Casemiro, with a player of Eriksen's quality as an option off the bench. That's quite the turnaround.
Yeah he was talking about Depay.
ETH
You can tell ETH is happy with him, because the frequency of heh is relatively high as he talks to him.
Yeah but that was because it wound up the scousers, and we were still title favourites back then
Yes let’s give it to a one of our young players who have a combined total of less than 25 premier league appearances.
Welcome Mason. Hope you become an important player for us.
I’m surprised he took 7, but at the end of the day it’s just a number. Hopefully a midfield player does right with it, unlike the many wide players that flopped using it.

Welcome Eminem!
We've not had a successful player in the 7 shirt since Ronaldo 1.0 and he left in 09. There's really no point in fussing over who gets it at this point.
Good. Looking forward to seeing him play for us now.
Them cargo pants are far too baggy. For that alone, he should be stripped of the no7.
Still not convinced by him but his stats the season before last were good so hopefully he comes good.
Welcome! Time to prove the doubters wrong!
Giving him number 7 was masterstroke. In one swift move they managed to outrage his haters even more

Regarding Bruno, I don’t think it will pan out that way at all.
Eriksen will not start many games imo.
Bruno might have the odd game on the right but, in the past, that’s usually been when we needed extra bodies in midfield which will be a rare situation with Mount in there. For the most part Bruno will carry on in his best position, 8/10 hybrid. Eriksen will get minutes but not many starts.
With all the talk of Valencia in this thread, we cant forget what it did to him.
Valencia once ate a tub of toothpaste because he misheard a coach. The guy was just insanely superstitious.
I would be very surprised by this. Mason Mount does not play the same way Eriksen does, so I cannot see that. Eriksen is a passer, our best passer, and can set the tempo of a game. Additionally, with his recent health issues, i would be surprised, very, very surprised, that he would accept this stage of his career being played from the bench. Eriksen would start for many very, very good football clubs. Remember last season, he was brutally injured, and came back when the whole team was flagging.
Some of us are far, far too quick to write off players. Eriksen is quality and will compliment an attacking midfielder such as Mount. I would prefer to see Bruno, Mount, Ericksen, Casimero play, espcially at home... the other players like Rashford, No 9, full backs would love that.
