Zirkzee's squad number announced

Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has been confirmed as the club's new no.11 ahead of the upcoming 2024/25 season.

The 23-year-old striker arrived at Old Trafford in July from Serie A outfit Bologna, having previously turned out for Bayern Munich and Feyenoord in his youth, and takes on this squad slot in his first campaign for the Reds.

Zirkzee could get his first chance to appear with the number on his back when United take on Manchester City in the Community Shield if selected by his new boss, and fellow Dutchman, Erik ten Hag.

He takes the squad place from Rasmus Hojlund, who will wear another iconic shirt, no.
