In the next week, Man Utd will announce a few new shirt numbers, in which, young talent Alejandro Garnacho can wear the number 7 shirt.
The number of shirts that Man Utd players are wearing will have many fluctuations in the near future when some people leave Old Trafford.
Accordingly, midfielder Raphael Varane likes the number 4 shirt, but it belongs to midfielder Phil Jones. Jones has long been no longer in the plans of coach Erik Ten Hag. His contract is also about to expire and of course, this shirt number will have a “new owner”.
It is possible that Varane chose the number 19, the number he used to wear with him at Real Madrid. In case Varane prefers number 4, number 19 will be targeted by Mason Mount.
This player is said to be very interested in joining Man Utd in the summer and the two sides have reached a personal agreement. This deal only has problems with the transfer fee. Man Utd just sent Chelsea an offer worth £ 55 million. However, the Blues want to receive more than 65 million pounds.
Who wears Man Utd’s number 7 shirt next season is also a question mark of NHM. Young talent Alejandro Garnacho is being considered by the Board of Directors of Man Utd to give him a new shirt number. It is possible that he is the first person under the age of 23 to wear the legendary number, after Cristiano Ronaldo in 2003.
Garnacho is expected to wear the number 7 shirt.
Experts are a bit concerned that Garnacho was “forced to” talent when he only debuted for the Red Devils 8 months ago. However, Garnacho, who possesses qualities similar to Ronaldo, is confident enough to shoulder the responsibility.
In the case of not choosing the number 7, the Argentina player can choose the number 11. This is the number that belongs to Mason Greenwood. The future of the English striker is still unclear after the scandals behind the scenes. It doesn’t matter if Ten Hag gives Garnacho the number 11.
15 is also a “potential” shirt number instead of Garnacho having to wear the current 49 shirt number. When wearing this shirt number, he will help the Red Devils fans remember Jesper Blomqvist, a famous left-winger of Man Utd in the past.
For the past 7 years, Eric Bailly has been the number 3 shirt holder. However, Bailly has not played for the Red Devils since December 2021. It is considered that defender Tyrell Malacia is suitable for the number 3 shirt instead of the number 3 shirt. number 12 of the present, when Bailly was about to be pushed away.
On the other hand, goalkeeper Andre Onana has noted his lucky number is 24. He is being sold by Inter for around £40 million. Before that, Tim Howard was the last Man Utd keeper without using the number 1 shirt when playing in the 2003/04 season.
At this point, David De Gea’s future remains unknown. The Spaniard will have to accept a pay cut if he wants to stay at Old Trafford. It is possible that he has to leave Man Utd after 11 years of working. If so, Man Utd’s number 1 shirt will change hands. Giorgi Mamardashvili, Diogo Costa are all goalkeepers who can wear the number 1 shirt in case they join Man Utd.
