Four Manchester United youngster have chosen to change their shirt numbers ahead of the new season.
Erik ten Hag is preparing for his side’s first pre-season run out against rivals Leeds in the Norwegian capital, Oslo. Young players are often given minutes alongside regular first-team stars and some of United’s academy products could get pre-season run outs.
Some of them will be wearing new shirt numbers however as they seize on those that were left unassigned, with Kobbie Mainoo, Matej Kovar, Alvaro Fernandez and Dan Gore all donning different numbers in the upcoming campaign.
Mainoo, who made his debut against Charlton in January, was wearing No 73 but the 18-year-old has been given the No 37 shirt previously worn by James Garner, who left for Everton last summer. Mainoo remains highly-rated and claimed Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award last term.
