Before Man Utd announced the Mason Mount deal, many sources revealed that Alejandro Garnacho would likely inherit the vacant number 7 shirt left by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Garnacho is an exceptional talent and the future is very bright. Therefore, the fact that Garnacho wears the legendary number is clearly a reasonable choice.
However, Mount was the chosen player. According to the Manchester Evening News, coach Erik ten Hag personally asked Man Utd to give Mount the number 7 shirt. The move proves that Mount is a very important player.
Garnacho’s move for Mount.
As for Garnacho, this young player does not seem to be sad, On the contrary, I also liked Man Utd’s post about confirming the team’s new number 7.
One fan expressed: “Garnacho liked the post about number 7. He obviously won’t have any problems so I don’t understand why some Man Utd fans are not happy.”
George Best made it special during his time at the club. The former great winger led Man Utd to the European Cup championship in 1968. Eric Cantona continues to honor the number 7 shirt with 4 Premier League titles.
David Beckham took over it after Cantona’s departure and became a legend at Old Trafford. Similarly, Ronaldo also had a successful time with this shirt number. After that, Angel Di Maria and Alexis Sanchez were completely let down.
Memphis Depay, Antonio Valencia or Michael Owen also did not meet expectations when wearing the number 7 shirt.
