Are we signing one of the most marketable players in the world without a fixed number?

What will the board do?

I hope Memphis gets a more suiting number like 14. They should reclaim the #11. It's absurd to say the least. Just imagine if somebody told you 10 years ago that Ryan's number would not be worn just because the player using it is LOANED OUT :eek::houllier:

Your thoughts?

Whichever one he wants. He can have number one if he really feels like it.

Florida, man
11 would suit him the most. And it's the easiest to get in my opinion.

Though he definitely has that aura about him to wear 7.

He should really get 7 or 11. Takes the pressure of Memphis or Januzaj, and when he leaves if they have proven themselves they take that number back. If that would dent their confidence too much, then they don't have the right mentalitly to make it here anyway.

Some will say that it doesn't matter, but it probably does sway some people if it's Ibrahimović 7 or Ibrahimović 28. I bet Adidas care.

8 would also be fine if Mata leaves.

Who wears 21?

When RVP picked 20 cos of the possible title number, I knew there and then that we were going to take the title.

Herrera isn't it? Inherited from a Da Silva?

Would love to sell Mata and Rooney and give him 10. Realistically, sell Mata.. move Rooney to 8.. his old number and give Zlatan 10. Hopefully in the future Rashford would be 9 and Martial 7.

Hmm.. forgot Pogba. If we got him..

Pogba #8/#10 and Zlatan #10/#9.

I can't see him getting 7, that would be a massive kick in the teeth for Memphis who's confidence is probably already fragile. I'm betting 9, martial gets 11, januzaj on loan.

Hope he gets no.7. I can imagine the type of answer he'd give if questioned about how he feels to wear the same prestigous shirt as Cantona, Ronaldo etc.

Memphis can be demoted until he steps up.

A lot of players care. Who was it a few years back who couldn't have numer 9 for example so had 8+1 on their shirt I think it was. I swear it was for Inter.

Could be one year with the option to extend another one, as was initially reported. No one knows the details yet.

I said a month ago that I thought he would get #19. 1+9.

Wilson out on loan will make it available.
