The Curse of the Number 7: Mason Mount’s Transfer to Manchester United

Zapping Goal! Football Club PSG: top 10 most expensive transfers

In England, the number 7 is the equivalent of 10 everywhere else. It is reserved for the best players of each team, for the stars. At Manchester United, he was endorsed by George Best in the 60s then by Bryan Robson in the 80s and by Eric Cantona then by David Beckham in the 90s. Idols, each time, supporters of the Red Devils. But since the end of the glorious Ferguson era, the 7 has become cursed, concerning players who have played in Ligue 1.

Mason Mount will wear the mythical nยฐ7

Memphis Depay (ex-OL), Alexis Sanchez (OM), Edinson Cavani (ex-PSG) or even Cristiano Ronaldo have all tried to restore luster to this legendary number. Without success. Today, Mason Mount is sticking to it. The English midfielder has just been transferred for 70 Mโ‚ฌ from Chelsea. He has all the qualities to end the curse. But its predecessors too…

To sum up

For decades, the number 7 has been that of the great players at Manchester United, from George Best to Eric Cantona to Bryan Robson. But he has become cursed for a few years, Memphis Depay, Alexis Sanchez, Edinson Cavani or even Cristiano Ronaldo having failed on the side of Old Trafford.
