Ah, cheers, that's where I remember him wearing it. He definitely had the #10 in some games I've watched, had to be qualifiers.
Number 10 shirt | Rashford officially our new #10
- Thread starter Van Piorsing
- Start date
Can’t argue with the legendary James Milner.
Or Valencia and Memphis.
Loads of clubs have special numbers, don’t be silly.
Number 9 at Newcastle has some sort of weird mystique. I remember a big deal about Les Ferdinand having to give it to Shearer when he signed.
Is Jamie Redknapp still saying Rashford should leave?
Were people actually expecting us to sign someone worthy of the number 10 shirt? Even if we get a winger, doubt he would have worn it.

Time to close thread. I have my answer and so many of us.
Congrats to Rash btw.
Congrats to Rash btw.
Weird choice but whatever. Hopefully spurs him on a bit.
Probably would have given it to Lingard over Rashford.

Good God
Seems quite early, but it is a positive. I’m sure he is chuffed.
Meh, Lingard deserves it more but both are underwhelming to say the least considering our #10's in the past.
It's a number on a shirt. The only possible outcome is that it will give a young player more confidence.
Valencia couldn't handle 'a number on a shirt'.
Yeah was just thinking that. Was very strange.
The state of some the the replies in this thread
No one deserves to wear the No. 10 in our current squad. Rashford is not a striker or a playmaker. He's a winger who can occasionally play upfront. He's got poor positioning, does not find spaces for himself to receive the ball and his shooting is terrible. Not sure what the club was thinking with giving him the No. 10. Terrible marketing plan.
I love Rashford but I think this is far too soon for him. Should've been kept for a signing.
Yeah we should make them wear some shit numbers like 68 or 80 so other kids at school can point and laugh at them.
Also, imagine this conversation: Mourinho tells Rashford that he's taking the #10 away from him, Marcus asks why, Mou responds:
Sort of reminds me of this Zlatan/Pep meme with bears.
Why when we're clearly not in the market for anyone that plays in that position?
Rashford is a striker. Strikers wear 10.
Start of the last season I said it's time he starts stepping up (along with Martial) This year is huge for the lad, really hope it works out.
Because the one he was wearing No. 19 was completely absurd.... You're such an IDIOT.
He hasn't even reached his potential and his growth has kind of stunted in the last season or so. Strikers are known for their finishing and Rashford's finishing is atrocious. Cole, Van Nistelrooy, Rooney.... were all No. 10s but Rashford hasn't reached that level yet.
Well you don't get to call that anybody.

Well deserved. Delighted for him, and I really hope he kicks on this season. Also hope this means he'll be played more centrally as well.
Looks good on him.
Cole wore 9
Great. Two weeks ago he signed my number 19 Rashford lol. I'm out of date already 
Don’t think it should have been given to him. He hasn’t earned it
He comes from the academy and it'll add value to his name, just hope it doesn't go to his head like the wonderkid hype did.
It just quadrupled in value - "RARE, OOP" hahaGreat. Two weeks ago he signed my number 19 Rashford lol. I'm out of date already
delighted for him
Go Marcus
Go Marcus
Hopefully he can get more than 10 goals!
Thrilled that one of our best young talents who has come through the academy is now wearing one of the most prestigious shirt numbers at the club.
It's not well deserved though. He's been poor for the better part of two seasons. His hype greatly exceeds his talent.
It is well deserved he's an exciting young player. He should hopefully play a lot of minutes this season, and if he gets the chances I'm sure he'll score lots of goals.
#MR10???? ffs, nooo.
Next thing #MR10 underwear, #MR10 headphones, #MR10 dance & dab lessons, #MR10 stupid celebrations...
Please Marcus, stay firmly down on the ground, don't think I can stand another one of social media football players.
(I know, I'm old, and yes, I miss good old days when players were men and more interested in playing football)
I have high hopes in Marcus, don't disappoint me, pleaseee.

What a load of rubbish - numbers mean something to all clubs. No 9 at most clubs is a massive honour.
Much rather have a great young player given a first team number than the latest shiney new signing (please let’s not bring up lack of signings). Well done Rashford, very well deserved.
