Hopefully @Varun.Plenty of goals in him.
Who will take the number 10 shirt when Zlatan leaves?
- Thread starter Canagel
- Start date
Who cares no10 isn't really a significant number at United like it seems to be at other clubs.
That's what I think will happen.
Just like the NO.7 shirt was left blank until we got a worthy Galactico class player.
If and when we do splurge a huge fee for a NO.10 player, he'll get the shirt, until then tough, it will be left vacant.
That's a bit silly to say. Dennis Law and Wayne Rooney have provided plenty of historic importance to the number. Not quite as much as 7 perhaps for some but that's something to be debated.
For all those who want Dybala (and Griezmann, before), IMO it would be pointless to sign such players. We need to improve our attacking system, in general, which IMO will yield far better results than simply padding the squad with Galacticos.
We already have Sanchez and he is finding it difficult to adjust to our system. Once we find a better system for our attackers, they will all improve considerably, without the need to bring in another Galactico.

By that logic there is historic importance placed on almost every number from 1 to 20+ by the great players who wore those numbers. Generally every club has a special number for most clubs its 10, so my point stands at United 7 is seen as the special number not 10. So it doesnt really matter who wears 10.
No one deserves it right now.
10 is no 7. I am not that bothered who wears it or if it is not taken for a while.
Give it to Dave!
Anyone have a size 10 waist?
Just going by the fact that we gave Shaw #23 it would fit into that logic.

Nonsense! A small fortune will be spent this summer. The club has plenty of money.
Rooney when we resign him.
..I'd give it to Lingard if Mourinho genuinely wants him around long-term. Otherwise, I don't really see who fits that number.
Pogba's not a 10, so don't know why that's being suggested.

Oh dear, was it really that hard to just come out and say something a bit more understanding of my point than sticking to your guns and burning down all sense of reason? For instance: ‘oh right I forgot about a couple of Club legends that wore the number ten. The number isn’t special for me as a fan as 7, but I can see how other fans or even players might.’ Actually, add the club itself to that list - I clearly recall a special promo ‘ceremony’ with Law himself handing the 10 jersey over to Wayne...
Rashford?
Bale. Actually sod it. Sign Bale and give him the 11 and make Martial have 10 just for a laugh.
Oh i do apologize sir if i had known you were the sensitive sort i would have of course taken the time to more delicately explain that i'm not going to change my opinion just because you happen to think it is silly.
The no10 or even the no7 aren't that important to me in the grand scheme of things. If others place special importance in them fair play to them. But that doesn't affect me expressing my own opinion, which is for United the no10 doesn't really hold any type of great importance.
Give it to Giggsy till the end of the season
Maybe we will use that legacy to lure talent in the club.
Banega. What he's been up to? (other than knocked us out the CL)
I am quite sensitive. So thank you for rephrasing. FWIW as a fan I do lean towards feeling a number is just a number. But I can understand how if football is your profession there's more weight to the importance or privielage of wearing a particular number.
Mata will be gone in the summer
Sorry to burst bubbles here but didn’t Palmeri say that Dybala to Madrid is a done deal?
Lol I was looking for that one
It will probably be given to Rashford if we dont buy a striker.
And you think hes sulking now! lol
Rashford.
Could Angel Gomes be in with a shout.
I would love 10 to be Dybala.

Rashford hopefully.
I predict a riot
Nobody ap. Leave it vacant until the big signing comes. Love to see it given to a little Argentinian playing his football ap for Juventus. Probably won't happen though.
We're currently in a chance to sign the on-loan winger Douglas Costa at Juve. I wouldn't mind if he took 19 from Rashford and vice versa. Pogba can also own the number 10, he will play with more gusto. So do it pronto.
Martial please.
The Next Messi...
If it's just given to a player who is already here then I can only see it being Rashford or Lingard. Mourinho said no attacking buys this summer but Ibra leaving might give him an excuse or it's possible one of our current lot could be off, in that case maybe Dybala comes in and takes the #10, or possibly Isco is De Gea goes to Real Madrid.
Rashford should get it imo.
