Young pair handed new numbers

Young pair handed new numbers

Manchester United youngsters Tyler Fredricson and Chido Obi will be wearing new shirt numbers, once the action gets back under way.

Central defender Fredricson is moving from no.55 to no.33, after making great strides last term.

The 20-year-old Academy graduate produced a polished Premier League debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers in April and also started in the away game at Brentford.

Young striker Obi only finalised his move from Arsenal’s Academy in November but made such an impact at youth level that he was introduced for a senior debut in the away game at Tottenham Hotspur last February.

The 17-year-old scored his first senior goals in the 3-1 post-season friendly win against Hong Kong, China and performed well for Denmark’s Under-20s at the Maurice Revello Tournament over the summer, which meant he only came back to Carrington on Thursday.

After previously wearing no.56, he will now be no.32 for the campaign ahead, which begins in earnest with a friendly against Leeds United, in Stockholm, on Saturday 19 July.

The confirmation of these latest changes follows the news that Diogo Dalot will wear no.2 and Matheus Cunha is our new no.10.

Youngsters Shea Lacey (61), Bendito Mantato (70) and Reece Munro (65) have also been allocated new squad slots.
