Manchester United are pushing hard in the final month of the transfer window, with three more signings targeted before the September 1 deadline. With Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo already through the door, head coach Ruben Amorim is aiming to further strengthen his squad for the new season.
The big talking point? Potential new shirt numbers — especially for Benjamin Sesko, who’s been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Here are the shirt numbers currently available and who might claim them if they arrive:
🧤 No.1 – Goalkeeper Vacancy
With Altay Bayindir likely to be sold, the iconic No.1 shirt would be up for grabs. United are expected to bring in a new back-up goalkeeper, and this number is the prime choice for whoever steps in.
Should United land Benjamin Sesko, the No.9 shirt may open up. Rasmus Hojlund could be on his way out as the club considers reshaping its attacking options. This shirt number would signal major intent for the new frontman.
⚽ No.9 – Could Sesko Take It?
🛡️ No.12 – Tyrell Malacia on the Move?
The No.12 shirt currently belongs to Tyrell Malacia, but with United actively seeking to sell the full-back, it could be available very soon. Expect this number to be filled by a new defensive signing.
🎯 No.14 – Eriksen’s Exit Leaves It Open
Since Christian Eriksen departed, the No.14 shirt has been vacant. It’s a flexible number, often worn by creative midfielders, and could suit a new defensive midfielder – another area Amorim hopes to strengthen.
🔄 What Next for United?
✅ A clinical striker
✅ A reliable backup goalkeeper
✅ A tough defensive midfielder
With multiple shirt numbers available, any new signings — like Sesko — could instantly become fan favorites, especially if they claim a historic jersey number.
