Adnan Januzaj will be wearing the No. 11 shirt instead of Giggs who has worn that shirt for 21 years. Manchester united squad numbers:

1. De Gea; 2. Rafael; 3. Shaw; 4. Jones; 6. Evans; 8. Mata; 10. Rooney; 11. Januzaj; 12. Smalling; 13. Lindegaard; 14. Chicharito; 16. Carrick; 17. Nani; 18. Young; 19. Welbeck; 20. van Persie; 21. Herrera; 22. Powell; 23. Cleverley; 24. Fletcher; 25. Valencia; 26. Kagawa; 28. Anderson; 29. Zaha; 30. Varela; 31. Fellaini; 34. Lawrence; 35. Lingard; 36. Vermijl; 38. M Keane; 39. Thorpe; 40. Amos; 41. James; 42. Blackett; 45. Petrucci; 46. Rothwell; 48. W Keane; 49. Wilson; 50. Johnstone.

The rightful heir I would say...Bale would have been an awesome 11, but Madrid got him last year! I hope James Wilson gets the 9...

man, I start to hate Real Madrid lolz, they took Modric, Kroos, and bunch of others great players that we wanted...

no #7 or 9 yet? O.o

I think it's too soon to give him #11... imo He hasn't prove to be worthy of such a number. I hope this turns out to be a Ronaldo like situation, when you give an important number to a lucky young player which forges his future into stardom.

And every time I see #9 vacant I think about old Berba days...

@Tuanis, I would just give the #9 to Welbz. It's not like were going to buy a center-forward anytime soon.

The Nr.7 is only for legens like Beckham and Ronaldo please don't ruin it :P

^ Before that, it belonged to Best, Robson, and Cantona. After Eric came David, and then Ronaldo. 5 legendary #7's.

v. persie 9
a. herrera 7

I'm excited. Apparently, it was Giggs who encouraged Januzaj to take the number 11: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/13/adnan-januzaj-number-11-manchester-united-ryan-giggs
(Jamie Jackson is one of the most reliable United news reporter.)

Personally I'm excited. If Januzaj doesn't do well (which I highly doubt), maybe he'll just drop it like Valencia dropped the number 7. Besides, Januzaj is the most calm player I've seen considering his age. He'll do well.

@Dynst You are right but my knowledge of the past is actually very bad. Cantona i know of but the rest only by name.

@Salahdin

You should check out some videos of George Best. He had a wonderful playing style.

PS. TheGame's profile picture is of George Best.

He must be seriously overrated to take a legendary number jazujan

@Dynst I will do that will also try to watch full games of him. Any game you would recommend?

@Salahdin

He played in the 60's, so I've never seen him play live LOL. I just watched documentaries on him, and read articles. Try this one.

I am glad that they chose Adnan as no.11!!He has got potentials to be like CR7!!!

@Dynastina: Great video. +1. I watched it a few years ago, but was refreshing to watch again.

yeppp George Best was stunning, I saw several documentaries of him. All of those 7 MUST BE CAREFULLY selected, so far only legends are (except Owen he ruined it a bit)...
