Noussair Mazraoui Set To Get Dream Man Utd Shirt Number

Florian Plettenberg has posted a of Mazraoui video of the player arriving in Manchester as he is set to undergo his medical today. 

Bayern and United have already agreed a deal worth up to €20 million for the 26-year-old’s transfer. 

The full-back will sign a five-year contract with the Premier League giants, with the club also having the option to extend it by another year. 

Aside from a pending and proposed departure for Wan-Bissaka, they are actively looking to move Victor Lindelof on. Casemiro, Scott McTominay and Jadon Sancho could also depart.

For now, though, the focus is on incomings. Mazraoui and De Ligt could arrive imminently and, when the ink dries on their respective contracts, they will have to pick out a new shirt number for United.

There are plenty of choices for Mazraoui. In his senior career, No.40 – which is free – has been a constant choice.

However, the No.3 shirt could also take his eye, having worn that for the Morocco international team. Barring any further in-house changes, the other numbers currently unassigned by United include; No.13, No.19, No.26 and No.27, while a host of options in the 30s, 40s and 50s are still up for grabs, too
