Manchester United have confirmed that new £80m signing Harry Maguire will wear the club's number five shirt, made famous in the Premier League era by Rio Ferdinand, a player Maguire is believed to have been a big fan of while growing up.
The jersey has also been assigned to Lee Sharpe, Ronny Johnsen and Laurent Blanc since fixed squad numbers were introduced in 1993. Most recently, it had been occupied by Marcos Rojo until the Argentine left it vacant last summer in order to switch to his preferred number 16.
Maguire wore 15 for Leicester and has typically occupied the number six shirt for England since becoming a regular at international level.
