We should follow their lead and retire Angel Gomes's number. Absolute legend that kid.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Trevor Francis must be wondering what he could've done to get this honour.
Sign for Dortmund?
Dramaqueens
4 goals 
Wow, cringe central.
What has he actually done to be so well thought of? Must be something
Could see him underwhelming at Dortmund now.
He's also on a mural outside St Andrews: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sp...ude-bellingham-mural-birmingham-city-18645026
Had a glance at their fan forum and apparently a few wanted him to have a stand named after him.

Missed Schalke retiring Raul's number, have you?
Got the a transfer fee that is about 10 years worth of TV money I guess!
This is so embarrassing. This guy is mainly famous for wanting to be signed by Man Utd.
This post gives me the opportunity to say that Jackie Robinson has his number retired league wide but he was a very special player for the MLB. Not only he was an all time great but he was also the first black player in the modern era.
I mean, if they started doing it for other players with similar achievements for the club they would have no squad numbers left.
His biggest achievement for them is literally transferring to a bigger club.

Haha that is tragic. So out of order to players who spent longer periods there, which is surely 99% of current & ex players
At least Raúl was a globally recognised top class player who won an unhealthy number of trophies during his career. It's still ridiculous for Schalke, obviously, but at least he wasn't a 17-year-old who played one season in the Championship.
Cringiest thing I've ever seen in football.

Come on just retiring a shirt number for the legend, he deserves a stand and statue too.
Even though I’ve heard Trump speak today this is the dumbest thing I’ve heard today.
What the feck?
That is just bloody weird.
I would have been open to United retiring 11, but this is a tad different.

This is insane.
This is just mentalThis is beyond pathetic, yet quite apt for our times we’re living in.
Modern football has gone to shit, He's 17 for feck sake, He's done nothing for him to get his shirt number retired at Birmingham.
Goodness me
They should've retired whoever made that decision instead.
Valdes maybe not, but at the very least Kleberson, Obertan and Djemba Djemba
This is the most baffling decision I’ve ever seen in football despite watching a good number of games refereed by Mike Dean
Thooght the video of those two Liverpool fans doing the guard of honour in front of their TV was going to be the cringiest thing I saw today. Clearly not
Bonkers stuff
Imagine if he flops at BVB now. No pressure or anything
They must have really needed that money.
Surely Di maria deserves a statue
Legend.
To be fair, he got them a record sum in the bank. It will take a while until they sell someone for more money.
But yeah, that is pretty embarrassing
But yeah, that is pretty embarrassing
All the Blues fans I know seem to think he's nailed on to be England captain one day. The fawning over him by them lot is pretty remarkable.
I honestly thought he had passed away or something and was initially very apprehensive about reading the thread...
What a bizarre thing to do.
What a bizarre thing to do.
This doesn’t really bother me. He’s obviously not done enough for them to get his number retired but it’s #22 at Birmingham City. It’s not like there will be thousands of footballers dreaming of wearing #22 at Birmingham City, this won’t actually impact anybody and in any case if he works out well they will be able to do a bit of an ‘I told you so’.
