He's a United no 7 if ever there was one.
6+1
I remember reading that his favourite player a s kid was Giggs, so I wouldn't be surprised if he just took ma squad number for the remainder of this season and then got the number 11 in the summer when Giggs will likely retire.
7.
He would be a perfect 7. But I think he'd choose 8.
Mata 8 would be perfect
He's not a number 7 in the slightest, what are you guys smoking? Pass me some.
To be fair we've had the number 7 made famous by a striker (Cantona), a central midfielder (Robson), a winger (Beckham) and however you wish to classify Ronaldo and Best as players.
They were mostly occupied by wingers, which is what that number is for.
8 seems perfect for him, I think. 11 for Adnan seems natural for next season. I don't think we know our new #7 yet.
7 or 8
8! Creative midfielder!

For us seven has always been about the teams talisman more than a winger (until fecking Michael Owen came along at least, but even then I understand why he got given it).
In the classical English football lineup yes 7 is for right winger. In the squad number era we've given it to two strikers, two right wingers and one winger who plays on either side (and spent most of his last two seasons playing off the left or up front).
Spurs, Palace, Norwich, Palace and Everton are the only clubs that have given 7 to actual wingers.
Fulham, Chelsea, Newcastle and Swansea have given it to deeper lying midfielders. Arsenal and West Brom have given it to attacking midfielders.
Liverpool and Southampton have given it to strikers.
Cardiff, Hull, Sunderland, Manchester City and Villa have given it to utility players.
Stoke and us don't have one.
He is a big Giggs fan, isn't he? Ryan should retire and pass him the 11.
Go 9 for arguments sake, why not, creative goal scoring midfielder, bit of the Bobby Charlton's about him in that aspect.
Who cares what number he is, I'll be happy just to see him in the shirt.
Should be 8
Pretty funny that Mata creates all this excitement over a number, with Fellaini, no one blinked twice at throwing bloody 31 at him.
7 or 8 either would be great, I doubt we would give 8 away though in respect to Anderson, he's not officially left the club yet he's only out on loan.
Happened once before with Van Persie taking Fabio's number.
7
Yeah I forgot about that, maybe he will get 8 then. I do think he'd suit 8 rather than 7, that's Adnan's number
Well we all know why that is don't we? Fellaini should never have been signed and nobody was genuinely excited about him joining us, despite many of us trying to convince ourselves otherwise.
I'd be surprised if we didnt take the opportunity to make him our new number 7 given he's our record signing and first forward we've brought in (not pure striker like RVP who would take a pure goalscorers' number) who could give us a Ronaldo-ish contribution in the final third in terms of overall end product. I think lavishing the 7 on him would only raise the confidence around the place even more.
I dont think for one second we're thinking about what number Januzaj needs to be wearing as he's a young man who has all the time in the world and could realistically wear the 7 after Mata. There's probably a number 10 up for grabs soon anyway

imagine the reaction here had fellaini been given number 7
After hearing Robo speak on SSN I think it will be number 7. Which for me is the right move.
He can be a number 7 with some work, but first he needs to shave that beard into a handlebar stache
He'll want the 10 (always had it, a player gave it up for him when we signed him).
That's not gonna happen though so the 7 at United seems a good fit. Hopefully after this season he emulates your previous 7s Owen and Valencia more than Ronaldo or Beckham.

Got to give him the number 7 shirt.
I'm torn between number 11 and number 8.
Januzaj may get 11 or 7, so I think they'll take that into account.

I think he should get 11 next season after his idol Giggs. Januzaj is primed for number 7 imo.
SSN reporting that it's most likely going to be no. 7.
