Mount shirt number
Manchester United have set their sights on Mason Mount and could tempt the midfielder with an offer of the iconic No.7 shirt - although he may not actually want it.
Mount's exit from Chelsea after 18 years is looking increasingly likely, with the 24-year-old entering the final year of his contract and showing little sign of agreeing an extension. United were one of several Premier League sides to register their interest early on, and Erik ten Hag's side have intensified their pursuit in recent weeks.
Earlier this week, the Reds submitted a second bid of around £50million after seeing their opening offer - thought to be around £40million - swatted away. Talks are continuing and they are favourites to win the race.
In a bid to entice Mount north to M16, United could offer him a chance to don the famous No.7 shirt, worn most recently by Cristiano Ronaldo and historically by David Beckham, Eric Cantona and George Best. However Mount has never worn that number before and could see his current choice open up.
