      The club also confirmed Mount will take the No7 shirt – famously worn by legends including George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.
      He leaves Chelsea after 18 years with the club, graduating from their academy and breaking into the first team in 2019.

      The 24-year-old departs with a Champions League winner’s medal to his name and opened up on the tough call to leave the club.
      He said: “It’s never easy leaving the club where you grew up, but Manchester United will provide an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career.
      “Having competed against them, I know just how strong a squad it is that I’m joining, and I can’t wait to be part of this group’s drive to win major trophies.
      “Everyone can see that the club has made big steps forward under Erik ten Hag.
      “Having met with the manager and discussed his plans, I couldn’t be more excited for the seasons ahead, and am ready for the hard work expected here.

      Another agreed: “Garnacho deserved it.”
      One added: “Can someone check on Garnacho?”

      Garnacho, who wears 49, broke into United’s first team last season under Erik ten Hag and impressed in his 34 appearances.

      Although eagle-eyed fans noticed Garnacho “liked” a post on Instagram confirming Mount’s number.
      Mount’s preferred kit number is 10 but the England star has worn the No7 before during youth level.

      And the midfielder is said to be being eyed up by Italian giants Roma and last season’s surprise Premier League package Brighton.
      That’s according to CBS, who claim the midfielder could potentially look to depart Old Trafford in the coming weeks to secure more playing time.
      It’s claimed that former Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho is “tracking the situation with McTominay.”
      Brighton are said to have earmarked the 26-year-old as a potential replacement for Moises Caicedo, who is a target for Chelsea.

      It’s unknown if Ten Hag will allow the Scot to leave the Theatre of Dreams.
      The Dutchman is said to rate McTominay very highly, although it’s claimed he could potentially deem him to be “surplus to requirements” if the right offer comes in.
      McTominay made 39 appearances in all competitions in Ten Hag’s maiden campaign at the Old Trafford helm, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
      United academy graduate McTominay has thoroughly enjoyed playing under the former Ajax gaffer, saying: “Obviously, the transition in terms of his style is very, very different to some other coaches.

      Mason Greenwood’s three options for his future revealed – and why mooted loan for Man Utd striker could prove difficult

      by

      THREE options facing Mason Greenwood have been revealed as a decision on the suspended Manchester United striker’s future looms.The England international has been linked with a transfer to Italy, but new doubts about a move to Serie A have now emerged.

      Premier League giants United are expected to rule this month on whether to restore the 21-year-old forward to manager Erik ten Hag’s squad.
      His three options are staying with the Red Devils, moving to another English club or elsewhere in Europe perhaps on loan.
      Yet new uncertainty has been raised about whether he would be welcomed in Serie A despite rumoured interest from various Italian clubs.
      Greenwood was exiled from the Old Trafford club after being charged with sexual offences and violence against a woman after troubling images were posted online in January last year.
      Read More On Manchester United
      He was later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, but the CPS dropped its case in February.
      The £75,000-a-week star has been suspended on full pay but has been undergoing private one-to-one coaching sessions at an £85-an-hour public pitch.
      The Sun revealed on Saturday former United boss Jose Mourinho had telephoned Greenwood to sound him out about a loan move to Italian Serie A side Roma.
      A source said: “Jose rang Mason’s dad and also spoke with Mason. He told him the best way out of his current situation is to start playing football — and that eventually all the hassle will fade away.
      Most read in Football
      “Mason was pleased that he got in touch and it has lifted his spirits.
      “He wants to get back playing and is just waiting for United to tell him what the future holds.”
      Former Red Devils defender Chris Smalling — who played with Greenwood — left Old Trafford for Roma on loan in 2019.
      United are said to have had contact with other Italian teams Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan about potential moves.
      Yet doubts have now emerged over a move to Italy, with suggestions there could be a backlash despite Greenwood being cleared of all charges, according to The Athletic.
      Italian football’s anti-violence campaigns
      Serie A has a partnership with the WeWorld non-profit organisation which campaigns to raise awareness of violence against women.
      The league has dedicated a matchday to the issue in each of the past six seasons.
      High-profile names who have spoken out in support include Luciano Spalletti who managed Napoli to last season’s league title and Italian World Cup winners Alessandro Del Piero and Marco Materazzi.
      Members of Manchester United Women’s team have reportedly raised concerns about the prospect of Greenwood returning to the training ground.
      Yet ten Hag has appeared to suggest he would be prepared to welcome Greenwood back into the fold.
      Greenwood is set to become a dad later this month, with his partner, enjoying a baby shower with pals last weekend.
      She posed in front of a flower backdrop and was spotted hugging various friends.
      She also flashed a beaming smile while cradling her bump in front of a balloon arch.
      The couple were previously spotted at the five-star Langham Hotel in central London.
      Greenwood was given his England debut by manager Gareth Southgate as a late substitute against Iceland in September 2020, though has not played for his country since.
      Two days after the Iceland game he and Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden were withdrawn from the squad for breaching Covid guidelines by leaving the part of the hotel where they were staying.
      New photos have shown how the striker has discarded his long wavy hair in favour of a crew cut.
      A source said: “Mason hasn’t really been out for a good few months so he hasn’t really had to bother too much with his personal appearance.
      Read More On The Sun
      “But getting a new trim is another indication that he is going to be playing football somewhere next season.”
      Bradford-born Greenwood has scored 35 goals in 129 appearances for Manchester United, having joined the club as a six-year-old.

      Mason Mount, who is set to arrive at Old Trafford from Chelsea imminently, is believed to fit perfectly into the Dutchman’s system.
      Mount, in turn, was said to be hugely impressed by Ten Hag’s eye for detail, as he snubbed new Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino to choose a move up North.
      Sky Sports journalist Melissa Reddy tweeted: “Erik ten Hag introduced 83 principles when he arrived at Manchester United.
      “Many explained what to do without the ball: Mason Mount ticks all the core traits he seeks, while being comfortable as a creator.

      Man Utd have agreed a fee of £55m rising to a potential £60m to sign Mount from Chelsea.
      The Blues would ordinarily ask for a far higher fee for a talent like Mount, but their hand was forced by the England star having a year left on his contract.
      Mount had previously hoped to follow John Terry and spend his entire career in West London.
