The number 11 shirt at Man United will be temporarily vacant after they liquidate the contract of Mason Greenwood.
Let’s take a look at 4 names that can inherit the number 11 shirt at Old Trafford…
Antony
Antony is the most obvious choice for the number 11 shirt of Man United, having worn this number at Ajax and the Brazil national team at the Olympics. He has yet to prove his £82m worth, but has always been trusted by Ten Hag and has a high level of potential and confidence.
Alexander Garnacho
Garnacho is the leading candidate for the number 7 shirt at Old Trafford this summer. But Mason Mount was unexpectedly selected after completing a £60m deal from Chelsea.
Now, the number 49 shirt is not suitable for his potential, and Garnacho could be the owner of the number left by Greenwood.
Jadon Sancho
The number 25 is not ‘pretty’ for a winger, but options for Sancho are limited after he arrives at Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
The first two unsuccessful seasons in England made him not be trusted with the number 7 shirt. Either way, Sancho can claim to be more deserving of the number 11, even though he is only a substitute player. in Manchester United’s opening two games of the season.
Rasmus Hojlund
Hojlund wore the number 17 shirt at Atalanta and could pick it up at Man United after Fred’s departure. But the number 11 shirt is more suitable for a star striker, and the £72m striker could be a worthy successor to the shirt worn by Sir Bobby Charlton, Denis Law, George Best or Ryan Giggs.
