Shaw arrived at Old Trafford last summer from Southampton and was handed the number 3. However, after a difficult first year where he played just 16 times, he has opted for a new squad number. Shaw admits it was his decision. "It's the number I feel comfortable with," he said. 7 Aug 2015.
Pavard will get 3
I bet he thought the same until Zlatan rocked up
Yes, that's right. Forgot.
Pavard wears 5 at Bayern.
‘Something we’re doing at the Overlap’. . .
Wheelchair you mean!
For goodness sakes! How did we not pick that up at the medical! I am DONE with this season.
Hojlund better feel honoured to wear Colin McKee’s old shirt number, hopefully the club will pay homage to him in the announcement
So they aren’t allowed to do it?
Yeah I see what you’re saying, I’m sick of those videos too, although I think they just mean “something we’re doing that we personally haven’t done before as a channel” rather than meaning “something completely new and original”. Chance would be a fine thing
I would have thought Hojlund using the back exit's handicap ramp would have been a dead giveaway.
FFS
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Surely they can think of something slightly more original
Not at all, just highlighting it’s hardly something new from ‘The Overlap’ they’re just bastardising what people have been doing for years.
Clams, Clams, Clams. Come on buddy, Hojland won’t turn into a real CF unless you believe. It’s like the whole Tinkerbell saga. Just clap your hands!
Is it? well they are doing something right for once.
Couldn’t care less about the media, but it would be a good start if our own fans on the Caf wouldn’t spout such nonsense.
Sorry I am lashing out because he can't play on Monday and Kane has gone to Bayern
Just go to bed. First thing tomorrow I will ask Bayern if they can loan us Kane for Monday.
He will make him a monster at this club. Heard nothing but good things about his coaching skills, and he gets a 20 year old prodigy to work on. How can fans not get excited at this???
Because I'm impatient and wish we had him now
Is he really a prodigy?
Can't argue with that logic
It's a Thursday, I'm slightly tipsy and I'm feeling positive about the future of the club, the direction we are going. Sorry to bring some positivity to this thread, hope it doesn't ruin your day x
Only joking guys. I hope he stays here for a long time and is successful. I just hope he doesn't just become another Martial or other expensive flops we've signed the past 10 years.
Indeed.
The only thing that has the potential to ruin my day is mild hyperbole.
As I said, optimistic about this season and in the moment have used an exaggerated description of our new no.9.
I fear you may be overreacting a little.
He isn’t our new number 9.
Not the best rebuttal. I am confident in us getting the best out of the kid, and am hopeful he can have a good career here. All your posts have shown nothing but negativity and reaction, so if that is how you feel then fair enough.
So LB then (in the changing/injury room).
You do realise no.9 is a position, not purely a shirt number? Just checking
You checked this a couple of times before posting, didn't you?I'm genuinely wondering if you folks are on a wind up.
Firstly, I agree, the punctuation isn't great, but there are loads of posts with worse construction on the Caf, so I'm unsure why this has sparked its own little (admittedly funny) detour.
Secondly, it wasn't that difficult to get the gist of his post.
You’re not a happy drunk, are you?
I am indeed, and also have this ability to read also, hence the thread title stating his shirt number
