Manchester United has officially confirmed the allocation of five new squad numbers, including the number for their recent £72m signing, Rasmus Hojlund. The club also revealed the numbers for Alejandro Garnacho and the new goalkeeper who will wear the prestigious No. 1 shirt, David Gea.
Rasmus Hojlund, who joined Manchester United in a record-breaking transfer deal worth £72m, will be wearing the number 11 shirt. The young Danish winger is expected to make a significant impact on the team’s attacking prowess.
Another exciting addition to the squad is Alejandro Garnacho, a highly-rated Spanish forward. The 17-year-old has been handed the number 30 shirt as he looks to establish himself at Old Trafford.
In addition to the outfield players, Manchester United has also confirmed the number change for their goalkeeper. David Gea, who has been an integral part of the team since joining in 2011, will now wear the iconic No. 1 shirt. This change comes after Dean Henderson, who previously wore the number, was loaned out to Sheffield United.
The other number changes announced by the club include Mason Greenwood switching from number 26 to number 7, which holds great significance at Manchester United. The number 7 shirt has been worn by legendary players such as George Best, Eric Cantona, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Furthermore, Amad Diallo, the promising young winger signed from Atalanta, will now wear the number 19 shirt. The Ivorian teenager is highly regarded for his pace and dribbling ability, and fans are eager to see him in action.
These new squad numbers reflect the club’s commitment to building a strong and competitive team. Manchester United fans will be hoping that the players can live up to the legacy associated with their respective shirt numbers and contribute to the team’s success on the pitch.
