Will Mason get a new number for next season?

[Skills]

What do people think about this?

He could make the number 26 special for himself and Man Utd's, or would you prefer him getting a number which already has more heritage/history behind it? Ultimately it'll be down to him, if he wants to keep 26 but what number do you want to see him in?

7 and 11 are free (assuming Sanchez doesn't come back) - probably the richest squad numbers in the clubs history. A bit more of unusual choice could be number 20. Oles own number and then famously worn by RVP in our last title winning season.

Next player to wear 7 I want to be youthful. Putting it on ready made players isn’t working. So I’d give Greenwood that if he wants it

 

[TwoSheds]

11 is a cool number for a left footed academy product. I think 7 would be a lot of pressure though that perhaps he doesn't need just yet. Personally I'd leave him as 26 for now and let him develop. He'll have tough times for sure along the way.

 

[Vernon Philander]

He should deservedly be given the Number 9, and Martial can have whatever the heck is leftover

 

[Desert Eagle]

I like 11 for him.

I can legit see martial going on a law abiding citizen type rampage if that happens.

 

[MadDogg]

I presume he'll take the 11. Sancho will hopefully be joining and he'll have 7.

 

[2 man midfield]

11 sounds like a safe bet

 

[Devil may care]

Greenwood #7
Sancho #11

 

[Donald Silverbridge]

No, I don't want him to neither, Let him keep his current number.

Crazy talk.

 

[sewey89]

Give him 4 if jones leaves.

 

[SirAnderson]

Strangely enough, I really like the number 26 on him, it like suits him for some reason.
But wouldn't mind him getting any of the iconic numbers either. But I suspect Sancho will get 7. So naturally he would be up for number 11.

Greenwood #7
Sancho #11

the other way around

Load shedding getting to you mate

 

[DWelbz19]

MR10 — AM9 — MG11

 

[Pughnichi]

Bruno to get 8 as well and Mata moved on

MR10 — AM9 — MG11

Sounds like Aston Martin car names.

 

[Bubz27]

7 is taken for next season.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Made for the 11 shirt.

 

[spiriticon]

Has to be the number 11.

 

[Invictus]

I like the idea of him keeping the #26 shirt and popularizing it, as there something endearing about a youth system player holding on to his first First Team number — like Bayern's lot of Schweinsteiger with 31, Lahm with 21, Alaba with 27 or Müller with 25 — when they could have easily changed to more conventionally important numbers. Though if he wants to change it to something else, a number that's slightly off the beaten track would be ace. #7 already has a great tradition at United and comes with a heavy burden of expectations, #11 is associated with Best and Giggs — neither jersey number is likely to be truly his in terms of imprint, at the most he can inherit them — but #14 is wide open to become his trademark number as he can easily displace Kanchelskis/Chicharito, and was worn by a few wonderful attackers (most prominently Cruyff and Henry) so it's not too out there!

Nah he has a better number already.

 

[Pughnichi]

It would match his arm tattoo

 

[Web of Bissaka]

#7

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

7 I hope, would be the first academy player since Beckham to wear it. Feel it would make more sense than to hand it over to a big money signing.

 

[charlenefan]

I'll always associate 7 & 11 with wingers so neither of those

I do like the idea of him keeping the 26 but equally him taking the number 20 would be good given who his manager is and the obvious comparisons he's been getting with RVP

 

[charlenefan]

On the subject of numbers am I the only one who feels the number 10 really doesn't fit Rashford?

 

[frookydinho]

FM tells me Sancho prefers 11. If that's true then give Mason number 7.

But really deep down I want Bruno as 7. He gives me Cantona vibes in terms of the impact hes having

 

[Jericholyte2]

I always give him 19 on my FM games, then 9 when I sell Martial. Has a bit of symmetry as Rashford had it previously.

 

[Castia]

Sancho 11
Greenwood 7

 

[Damien]

Greenwood 11, Sancho (if we qualify for CL) 7. If Martial gets moved on at any point then Greenwood'll likely move to 9.

 

[sugar_kane]

Maybe Ole can give him his old number once he’s punted Dalot to Serie A where he belongs

 

[Mcking]

I'd leave him with 26 for now.

Glad to see another Joburg resident suffering through load shedding

 

[King Andow]

Whatever the player wants. I don't get this obsession of choosing for them.

 

[SirAnderson]

Glad to see another Joburg resident suffering through load shedding

yeah lockdown plus loadshedding is no joke!
Must have gotten to him though to think taking the 9 off Martial is a good idea.

 

[Yagami]

14. Sancho 7, Grealish 11.

 

[esmufc07]

Who's Will Mason?

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Me too, for now. Rashford is quickly developing his passing ability and vision though so maybe in the future he will fit #10 more.

But then Bruno already fit wearing Scholes's #18 and we don't have any other playmaker or other player suitable for the number #10.
