Mount has taken the No7 shirt for the Red Devils following his 18-year stint at Chelsea.
But during his time as a youngster at the Blues, he revealed that he copies Ronaldo's technique for taking free-kicks.
In a clip showing a young Mount with floppy hair, he says: "I try to base my free-kick on Ronaldo.
"Hit the ball by the valve and it moves. That is all you do. Top corner and top bins."

However, some fans are concerned that he took the number with the view that it should have gone to Alejandro Garnacho.
He finalised his transfer today after arriving at Carrington.
On Tuesday, Mount announced he was leaving the Blues in an emotional video he shared with fans.
