In this thread I will go through our squad and state what shirt number I would give them. Some might change, some might not
1 - David De Gea
Our main goalkeeper for the large part of a decade now, David De Gea will be expected to keep his number 1

2 - Victor Lindelöf
Although many fans want him replaced, Lindelöf has been decent for United. I expect him to keep his shirt number

3 - Aaron Wan-Bissaka
The first change of shirt number, I think Wan-Bissaka deserves a more proper shirt number than 29. Bailly is likely to be sold as well, so 3 would be free to take

4 - Benoit Badiashile
A player heavily targeted by Manchester United, Badiashile would fit the number 4 shirt perfectly, taking it from Phil Jones. Jones is likely on his way out anyways

5 - Harry Maguire
There has been a lot of talk about Maguire losing his captaincy after the dramatic summer break he has had, but surely he won& #39;t lose his number. 5 it is

6 - Paul Pogba
Pogba was linked with a movr away earlier this summer, just like every other summer, but the rumours have calmed down quite a bit and he looks set to stay. He is a potential captain and will 100% keep his number

7 - Noone
8 - Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes came in January, and is our first choice number 8. He has the number tattooed on his forearm. He seems very likely to take the number this coming season

9 - Antony Martial
AM9 has become a popular striker at Old Trafford, being the club& #39;s top scorer last season. He scored 17 goals in the Premier League only, and is set to improve next season

10 - Marcus Rashford
Our second top goalscorer last season, Rashford is set to keep his number 10 shirt. If a shirt change is coming for him, I see 7 as the only option

11 - Jadon Sancho
The player who might be the most expensive transfer this season, Sancho has been linked incredibly heavily to United. Number 11 seems perfect for him

13 - Lee Grant
Lee Grant seems set to stay at Old Trafford for one more season as 3rd choice goalkeeper

14 - Jesse Lingard
Although JLingz14 is no longer a fan favourite, most fans seem to still appriciate him from what he does off the field. Lingard seems set to stay at Old Trafford, and will likely keep his number

15 - Noone
16 - Teden Mengi
With Rojo on his way out of his club, it seems perfect for academy graduate Teden Mengi to take his shirt number. A CB with loads of potential, Mengi will hopefully play a lot more next season.

18 - Juan Mata
Mata is currently our number 8, but I would not be surprised if mister nice guy Juan Mata gives Fernandes his favoured number

19 - Dean Henderson
Dean Henderson was incredible out on loan for Sheffield United these past couple of seasons, and he is expected to stay at United next season to fight for his place in the starting 11. 19 seems nice to give him

20 - Diogo Dalot
If Dalot doesn& #39;t leave, I expect him to keep his shirt number. A player bought by Jose Mourinho, he never fit into Ole Gunnar Solskjær& #39;s system and many fans belive he will leave this summer

21 - Daniel James
A player originally bought as a back-up/super sub, DJ21 played a lot more than expected last season. I think he will keep his number, despite a popular belief of a transfer

22 - Noone
23 - Luke Shaw
The main left back for United, I expect Luke Shaw to keep his number. He might change though however, and numbers like 12 and 15 are free to take. Out of these, I see 12 as the more likely option

24 - Brandon Williams
The player who currently wears the number 53 shirt, Williams has played out of position his entire senior career so far and it shows what he is willing to do for the club. I see him changing his shirt number to 24

MG26 could easily take another number going into next season, but I think that he is likely to keep his number 26
