Owen and Mount. Guess we have given up hyping the 7 shirt
Mason Mount's Misfortune

Anyone who is ‘disgusted’ needs to get a grip on their lives
I'm referencing this Athletic tweet where they're hamming up the jeopardy involved in getting the deal done.

Maybe Whitwell wasn't the one who put that particular tweet out, to be fair. It's still an entirely dull sequence of events though and that tweet presents it as being something exciting that we've never seen before.
Giving #7 to Garnacho would've been similar to giving #11 to Januzaj, the kid has started only 5 league games with us.

Absolutely. The facts are the facts.
Maybe he has a point, it did after all kill Ronaldo's legacy the second time round
No one cares mate. It's a number.
If we sign a keeper and give him number 74 and he saves a penalty that wins us the FA Cup are you going to complain that he wasn't wearing the same number as Van Der Sar or Schmeichel?
Not feeling it with this signing , but welcome to OT , hope he proves me wrong.
Might be the fact they are both a bit bland but this signing reminds of the Maguire deal more than any other.
Of course he is. We’re trying to squeeze Onana and Hojlund for 40m a piece and then that’s us done.
ITK?
Omg, the amount of people crying over the fact he got given the number 7, its just a number,
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!
"If you're not alive then you're dead"
Best wore all sorts of numbers and even Robson didn't always wear it. The legacy of #7 is a bit overstated.
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.
Quality meltdown.
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.

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.
The shirt number is probably a good indicator of how central Mount is to ETH’s United vision.
So just to be clear, you're happy Mount got the number 7 yeah?
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.
Really weird giving him the 7.
Doesn’t feel right.
What are his wages?

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.
Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, Best, more than just a number.
Ten Hag has a mount-fever that just won't quit!!
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

Do they still sell the shirts where you have to pay by the letter/number? Honestly good value on that front.
£12 a week, think he gets time and a half if it's a Sunday kick off
Mount will start ahead of Eriksen. I like the latter but defenders waltz past him for fun whereas Mount is quite a complete footballer.
Our manager is a sly one. In order to get Mount and for him to choose United over Liverpool and Arsenal he baited Mount with number 7. Then it's over.
I honestly don’t care what number he has.
Ten Haag inherited a first choice midfield of Bruno, Fred and McT
He changed it to Bruno, Erickson and Casimero which was quite successful but always had to bring on Fred or McT when Erickson was tired or Injured or Cas was suspended. VDB just didn’t quite click so this is great business.
I saw in the cup final that Casimero was finished for the season, looked knackered. We need young legs in there to spread the load.

Personally think we should've given the number 7 to Onana. He'd be one of our most skillful players anyway.
Mes que un numero
We know Ronny won't give him a ring and say good luck kiddo, but we might get Becks to do a nice cool rebranding publicity video for the new no 7.
I'd like that.
Give us some old school vibe and put some pressure on Mase to deliver.
