A look at Manchester United's greatest number 7s
Mason Mount, Manchester United's latest signing from Chelsea, has been given the iconic number 7 shirt that was left vacant after Cristiano Ronaldo's controversial exit from the club. Since Ronaldo left the club for the first time in 2009 when he joined Real Madrid, no other player has been able to do justice to the legendary United shirt. His poetic return to the club made United fans finally believe that the number 7 shirt has found its true calling. However, it now remains to be seen whether Mount manages to bear the weight of the historic jersey that Ronaldo first wore as a lanky teenager when he first played for the club. Here we take a look at some of the most iconic players to have worn this legendary number for United.

Gurpatwant Singh Pannun to Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Khalistani terrorists who died in recent times
Punjab was rocked by a violent Khalistan separatist movement in the 1980s and early 1990s, in which thousands of people died. Since then, there are a few who have raised their voices rigorously demanding a separate homeland for Sikhs by establishing an ethno-religious sovereign state called Khalistan. From Gurpatwant Singh Pannun to Happy Sanghera, here we list some Khalistani terrorists who died in recent times.
