Manchester United has today unveiled their new Number 7, former Chelsea playmaker Mason Mount, but many fans have questions about the decision to hand him the iconic jersey number.

The Mount transfer saga dragged on for a while, but the England man has now officially joined the Red Devils. 

But is handing him the famous jersey number 7 a source of pressure for the former Chelsea man? 

Can he thrive where Michael Owen and Valencia struggled?

Chelsea held out for £55m plus add-ons, and United didn’t have a choice but to agree to the asking price for the man they feel would add energy to a midfield that already has Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes. 

Is United about to get ticking?
