admin Numbers subject to change in pre-season, Mason Mount takes the fated #7 shirt, Plenty of numbers available for new signings.
After a promising season in Eric ten Haag’s first season as manager, Manchester United are heading into a big 2023/24 season.
Ten Haag may not be able to oversee a team review this summer as they are reportedly working under strict Financial Fair Play conditions this summer, but it is possible that the club will be open in the first window. New additions are expected after signing Mason Mount as signed.

Mount made a big move by picking up United’s destined number 7 jersey, worn by the likes of George Best, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo in his first few years.
The Red Devils are expected to add a few new faces to their squad this summer, and here are some of the numbers they have available:

What numbers can Premier League players wear?
Shirt number rules are fairly relaxed in the Premier League. Players can wear any number between 1 and 99 as long as it’s unique within their squad.
First teamers will typically don shirts between 1 and 30, although there are a few exceptions. Declan Rice, for example, wore #41 at West Ham and is expected to take that shirt number at his new club, Arsenal.
Can Premier League players change squad numbers?
Of course they can, but players can’t change whenever they please.
Any switching of shirt numbers must be done before a specific deadline every season. Typically, this is when clubs submit their confirmed squad list for the upcoming season. In 2022, this deadline arrived on 1 September, and it should be a similar date this time around.
