Under the item Merge Requests, which can be selected in the sidebar, you are presented with a list of all merge requests of the current project. The numbered badge right of the Merge Requests item tells you how many merge requests are currently listed as open for this project.

You can filter the list by merge request state using the buttons on the top right of the list header. Additionally you can sort the list using the sort menu.
