Tony Mogan5 August 2019

Harry Maguire looks set to wear the no.5 shirt at Manchester United.

Maguire completed his £80m move to Old Trafford on Monday afternoon, signing a six-year deal with the option of a further year.

The England international could make his debut this Sunday in United’s season opener against Chelsea.

And Maguire’s representatives, Triple S Sports and Entertainment Group, have since confirmed their client will wear the no.5 shirt.

The No.5 shirt has been vacant since the start of last season when Marcos Rojo vacated the shirt and was moved to No.16.

United’s other summer arrivals Dan James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have already been allocated shirt numbers, taking 21 and 29 respectively next season.

Wales international James takes the squad number vacated by Ander Herrera, who left the club this summer after failing to agree a new contract.

Wan-Bissaka meanwhile takes the number used by United’s last signing from Crystal Palace in Wilfried Zaha.
