Mount took on the burden of wearing United's number 7 shirt after moving from Chelsea to Manchester United for £60 million.
The England international has worn the number 8 and 19 shirts during his senior club career. But these two numbers are occupied at Old Trafford by Bruno Fernandes and Varane respectively.
Following in the footsteps of numerous Manchester United legends, including George Best, Brian Robson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham, it looks like there will be some pressure.
According to media reports, it was manager Ten Hag who offered to give him this number, which also symbolizes Manchester United's expectations for Mason Mount.
Born in 1999, Mount joined Chelsea in 2005 at the age of six and has played 195 games for the Blue Lions, contributing 33 goals and 37 assists.
He had only one year left on his contract with Chelsea before joining Manchester United and attracted interest from many teams this summer, but Mason Mount chose Manchester United.
Manchester United's number 7 is one of the most iconic shirts in world football, but not everyone wearing it can do well at the Red Devils.
To be fair, those who have worn it in recent years have had mixed feelings, taking a look back at the past seven Manchester United No.7s.
Cristiano Ronaldo
When Cristiano Ronaldo was 18, Sir Alex Ferguson brought him to Old Trafford and handed him the very symbolic number 7 shirt. Needless to say, the rest is history.
After 12 years, he opted to return to Manchester United in 2021 and, as we all know, his return did not work out of his wishes.
Since Cristiano Ronaldo's feud with Ten Hag and his withdrawal from the club last November, the Reds legend moved to Saudi Pro League side Riyadh Victory and set off a 'gold rush' to the Middle East.
Edinson Cavani
Cristiano Ronaldo was able to wear his No.7 shirt back after his return because of Edinson Cavani's generosity in freeing it up, which Cavani has worn since joining as a free agent in October 2020.
35 appearances in all competitions that season, scoring a very impressive 17 goals; Wearing the number 21 shirt in the second season didn't seem so productive.
After his contract expired last summer, Edinson Cavani signed a two-year contract with La Liga's Valencia and once again wore the number 7 shirt – he scored five goals in 25 La Liga games in 2022/23.
Sanchez
For Reds fans, the less talk about Alexis Sanchez at Old Trafford, the better, as it is a pain they will never erase.
It looks like a bet that Alexis Sanchez, who can do everything at Arsenal, has become lackluster since his move to Manchester United, scoring just five goals in 18 months.
After that, Sanchez spent three seasons on loan at Inter Milan before moving to Marseille club last summer. He scored 14 goals in Ligue 1 and seems to have regained some form.
But now there is no contract left and, unsurprisingly, he has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
Memphis Depay
Another underdog for the Red Devils Manchester United!
Like Alexis Sanchez, Depay has lived up to the expectations brought by United's No.7 shirt. In the 18 months before leaving for Lyon, he had been trying to find the net.
Arriving in Ligue 1, Depay found his scoring sensibility and earned him the opportunity to move to Barcelona, but was placed on the bench after Lewandowski's arrival.
Depay wants to seek change. As a result, he moved to rivals Atletico Madrid in January.
Di Maria
In terms of bad transfers, Di Maria can definitely occupy a place at Manchester United.
The World Cup winner is full of hatred for Manchester United - back in 2021 he said: "I didn't give a damn about the number 7 Manchester United, at first they talked to me a lot... I think it's just a jersey. ”
In addition to being an Argentine legend in Qatar, Di Maria also played a high-level season at Juventus last year and is now back at his old club Benfica.
Antonio Valencia
Some may not believe that shirt numbers affect a player's performance, but Valencia's 'spell' of wearing Manchester United's number 7 shirt proves it happened.
After a sharp drop in numbers in 2012/13, Valencia asked to wear his original number 25 shirt the following season.
Valencia retired two years ago and ended his career at Querétaro FC in Mexico.
After that, he invested in a small club in Ecuador called A Coruña Club AV25. In May, he returned to England and watched Manchester United's win over Wolves.
Michael Irving
Another less successful case!
To describe this Mr. Golden Globe as a failure alone would be an understatement. Most of his three years at United were injured, but a 96th-minute win against Manchester City in 2009 made Owen a "legendary moment" for the club.
Since retiring in 2013, Owen has become a commentator for BT Sport.
The Ballon d'Or was a Liverpool feat, but was defined by some fans as a "traitor" because he moved to Manchester United at the end of his career and won his first league title.
