Alejandro Garnacho would have loved the symmetry. As someone who idolises Cristiano Ronaldo, becoming the first teenager to wear Manchester United's iconic No. 7 shirt since Ronaldo in 2003 would have been perfect.
Alas, the 19-year-old will have to be patient if he is to ever inherit the number most synonymous with thrilling wingers at Old Trafford. Instead, the shirt has gone back to a time when it was worn by a midfielder, with Erik ten Hag offering it to Mason Mount during talks over his arrival at the club.
Mount is following in the footsteps of Bryan Robson as a central midfielder to wear seven, so it's not as if it is solely the possession of edge-of-your-seat attackers, but there was undoubtedly a desire amongst supporters for Garnacho to be given the number this summer.
