Give him the no. 11 shirt.
Quite happy we added an attacker to the team. We're quite lightweight compared to the other top teams.

I don’t like the idea of the wide players wearing 21 and 25. Doesn’t look right
What sort of headlines would it create? There's only so much journalists can say without legal implications. feck 'em. Numbers can be taken off players without needing any justification from the club
Imagine we gave him the No 11 shirt. Tomorrow's back pages would be full of Greenwood stories.
it would give the impression that the club does not expect him to return, which would be quite prejudicial to his case considering the media know absolutely nothing about it beyond the current evidence and allegations.
Whether you think he is guilty or not, he is innocent in the eyes of the law until proven otherwise. It’s absolutely right for the club to not take any action that would illicit media interest.

21 seems to be the logical number for him.
#11...banging...
Yeah, I agree. We don't need this shit right now.
If he does this in epl, he will just invite people to two footed tackle him
Januzaj may be a horrible person but not a horrible horrible person
Why would Greenwood be officially in any number? Its not a debenture. It’s a new season, we can change peoples numbers as much as we like… unless we’ve actively registered him for the season, which would be weird
Im not even sure it’d make that many headlines. It’s pretty obvious he’s not coming back any time soon, and if by someone miracle he does he can be given a different number, like loads of players are… if anything it seems like more of an issue to avoid giving anyone else it… ‘because of the implication’

The number 11 is vacant. No United player is registered in the PL or in Europe with the number 11. Could careless what his number is.
PLEASE DON'T POST ABOUT GREENWOOD. We've said this over and over again now.
Everything about him feels right. His desire to want to play for us is in stark contrast to FDJ.
He might be expensive, but we've signed the right calibre of player.
This guy will bleed for us.

I don’t think you are going to get anywhere with that strategy. It’s fair game - he’s still a United player and hasn’t been convicted yet. It’s only natural to discuss his availability in this context.
People inevitably go too far with the comments, I'm afraid and stray into wider discussion. We're deleting posts all the time.
Posters need to help us out here. Everyone knows what the situation is, it doesn't need to be brought up over and over again.

, he's like 'sit down you pleb, you're embarassing me'.Umm….Ten Hags face
To the Bryan Riggs thread!
Just in case it wasn’t posted
Antony and Casemiro look so happy to be here. Its good to see.
I hope he builds a good relationship with Dalot. Antony works hard and whenever Mazaroui went on his forward runs Antony covered. He also defended when he needed to and was a great outlet when we needed to get the ball quickly from defence to attack.
I hope fans give him a fighting chance as he can sometimes be frustrating, but his brilliance will win us many games

Time will of course tell all, but regardless of what number Antony gets I’m pretty confident he’s going to be a sensation for us.
I have a feeling teams will fear Sancho and Antony like Robben and Ribery were feared in a few years time.
dont think theres any hope of him starting v arsenal, hes been on strike from training to force the move to us and rightly dropped from a couple of games because of it
casemiro should be in better shape and still hasnt started, same with ronaldo as he didnt have a pre-season (only reason imo besides all the ten-hag not wanting him too rumours that are flying) so i cant see ten hag making a hypocrite of himself and starting anthony. hopefully a 20 minute cameo from him if anything

The only reason why I feel he won't start is the reason why he's here, he didn't train the past 2 weeks with Ajax. Plus Elanga will help track back with Tierney or Zinchenko.
But Souness will love itTweet

He's gonna drive pundits mad the second he pulls this off in a match
Way too much Ajax love in this thread. It's pathetic. Their PR game works too well internationally. Most hated team in the Netherlands.
Anyway I'm happy with the signing. Antony has everything in his locker to be a great. He's a nutcase though.

Against Arsenal on Sunday it is then. Drop a shoulder and send tierney to the shops. Cut inside, rifle a curler into the top bins past a despairing Ramsdale dive. Kiss the badge then take his shirt off.
Who cares what number he gets? Jeez
This guy is going to be a joy to watch, truly. Can see him riling up pundits and fans of oppo teams with his showboating and rolling around the floor similar to Neymar.
I really think he's going to light up the PL and end up the player United fans were hoping Sancho would be. Will certainly be tuning in to United games more often now.

Just gonna say it, those samba tricks simply will not work in the Premier League.
Everyone.
it’s not real…Ten Hags face
The important thing about Antony's signing is that we have not had a through-and-though-winger-with flair since the old Nani/Giggs/Ronaldo days.
Rashford, Ronaldo, Martial are not a real winger
Sancho has some No. 10 in him
Elanga is a squad player with little flair, he is not a typical wing either.
Young/Valencia were not "flair" players; and Depay, Januzaj, etc were not typical wingers
we need a "through-and-though-winger-with flair" to unluck some defences.

Yep and Haaland will struggle to score goals for fun without those acres of space that he gets playing against oafs in the Bundesliga. The PL is just so physical and competitive.
