Liverpool fans have ridiculed Man United's signing of Mason Mount, with the former Chelsea man being handed the number seven shirt at Old Trafford.
The number serves as a reminder of the 7-0 drubbing which the Reds handed down to their rivals back in March. The defeat marked United's low point of last season and fans on social media were quick to mock the announcement, with references to the rout at the forefront.
United's number seven shirt has had a mixed few years, with Memphis Depay, Alexis Sanchez and latterly Cristiano Ronaldo all having occupied the famous jersey to varying degrees of success. Now, United have trusted Mason Mount in the hope of following in the footsteps of the likes of Eric Cantona, David Beckham and George Best.
