Mason Mount Joins Manchester United Wearing Iconic No.7 Shirt
Manchester United have completed the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea, and the England international will wear the iconic No.7 shirt at Old Trafford. The 24-year-old midfielder has been handed the number associated with some of the club’s greatest players, and he is aware of the responsibility that comes with it.
Mount had been linked with a move away from Chelsea for some time, and he revealed that it became clear several months ago that he was not part of the club’s plans moving forward. He was keen to join United early in order to get ready for pre-season, and he is now looking forward to showing what he can do for his new club.
The £60million transfer has been met with mixed reactions from both sets of supporters, but Mount is determined to win over United fans by working hard and showing what he can do on the pitch. He is confident that he can bring something to the team and is looking forward to the challenge ahead.
Mount will be a key player for manager Erik ten Hag, who has already indicated that he sees the midfielder as a ‘very important player’ in his new-look midfield. The No.7 shirt is a sign of the esteem in which Mount is held by his new manager, and he is determined to live up to the expectations that come with it.
The England international wrote on Instagram: ‘I know the history and understand the responsibility that comes with this shirt. The most important thing for me is to gain your trust and I will work hard to do that. I won’t let you down Reds!’
Mount is now looking forward to getting started at Manchester United and showing what he can do in the iconic No.7 shirt. He is determined to prove himself and become a key part of his new club’s success in the coming years.
