In a warm-up match, United came back to beat Lens 3-1, however, the two new signings were doubly disappointing at home in Ottofford. While goalkeeper Onana made a brilliant save, Mason Mount was questioned for a series of errors, not the least of which was a left-footed shot from 6 yards from goal that hit the right foot, seemingly triggering the fabled No. 7 curse.
Mason Mount had a number of chances in the match, especially in the 14th minute, when Alejandro Canazo's pinpoint cross was met by Mason Mount, who was facing an open goal, but hit his right foot with a left-footed shot in an embarrassing situation. Just six minutes later, the 24-year-old England international's shot from inside the penalty area was deflected off the line. Despite his best efforts, there was nothing significant to show for his efforts throughout the match.
Expectations were high for Mason Monty when he moved to United from Chelsea for £60 million last month, taking over the No. 7 jersey left behind by Cron. However, he has failed to produce any goals or provide any assists in six warm-up matches, making it seemingly impossible for him to escape that fabled No. 7 curse.
