Manchester United’s Diallo reacts as new signing Varane inherits his no. 19 shirt

The Ivory Coast international has been handed a new shirt number at Old Trafford after the arrival of the France defender

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo said he is happy with his new number 16 shirt after Raphael Varane inherited the no. 19 from him.

The 19-year-old recently returned from an international assignment with Ivory Coast at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and he was welcomed with a slight change in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team.

After signing a five-year contract from Real Madrid earlier this month, Varane got the shirt number worn by the Ivorian star in his first five months at Manchester United.
