In the summer transfer window, Mason Mount joined Manchester United from Chelsea for a fee of £60 million, excluding additional costs. He was given the iconic number 7 shirt by the Red Devils’ management.

In the past, this shirt number has belonged to legendary players such as Eric Cantona, David Beckham, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Mason Mount understands the pressures that come with it. However, the 1999-born midfielder embraces these challenges.

Mason Mount said, “I understand the pressure that comes with the number 7 shirt at Manchester United, but I actually like it. I want to prove myself in the colors of such a great team like United.” The shirt number I wear is a symbol of the club’s history, and it holds significant meaning to me personally. When I was young, I was also a huge fan of great players like David Beckham.”

Since joining Manchester United, things haven’t been entirely smooth for Mason Mount. Up to this point, he has yet to score a goal for his new team.

At the beginning of the season, the English midfielder also suffered an ιnjury and had to be sidelined for three weeks. This has somewhat affected Mason Mount’s form.

The start of the 2023/24 season for Manchester United has also been less than promising. The Red Devils have lost 4 out of 8 matches in the Premier League. In the Champions League, the team from Old Trafford suffered defeats in both of their opening fixtures.
