Mount has been given the iconic number 7 shirt that has been adored by some of the best United players ever, from George Best and Eric Cantona to David Beckham.

It seems to be a dream come true for the Cobham boy who also has been a big fan of another iconic number 7 Cristiano Ronaldo.
Despite residing up on the south coast and rising through the ranks at Chelsea during a star-studded era, Ronaldo was something of a hero for Mount.
The recently resurfaced video somewhat confirms the influence of Ronaldo on the youngster.
In the resurfaced video Mount was seen talking about Ronaldo and how he copies his style of taking free-kick.
A young Mason Mount was seen saying: telling the camera: “I try to base my free-kicks on Ronaldo.
“Hit the ball by the valve and it moves. That’s all you do. Top corner, top bins.”
Mount then did precisely that, his attempt nestling into the top left corner.

Mount will now have the chance to reproduce the same on the actual stage Ronaldo graced for so long. The England international is well-known for his tremendous work rate and creative attributes.
United fans will be hoping that he can live up to the same expectations. Mount will join his new side in Manchester United’s upcoming pre-season tour to the United States.
