Rasmus Hojlund is expected to wear the number 17 shirt of MU.

New signing Rasmus Hojlund has yet to receive an official shirt number at Old Trafford. If Fred leaves MU, the Danish striker will take the number 17 shirt he wore at Atalanta.

Hojlund just had a spectacular debut at Old Trafford, after signing a 5-year contract with the Red Devils.

Notably, in his debut in front of thousands of spectators at the "theater", the shirt that Rasmus Hojlund held up did not have a specific name or number printed on it.

Due to an injury sustained during training at Atalanta, Hojlund is expected to miss two weeks and the first two rounds of the 2023/24 Premier League.

Talking about his new student, coach Ten Hag happily said: "Hojlund is a direct striker who always aims for the goal. He also knows how to put pressure and has a good physical foundation and fitness.

Along with Rashford, Hojlund can score from many angles. The Danish striker has great potential and the coaching staff will fully support Hojlund to quickly integrate and shine in the new environment."

MU hopes to sell Fred and Anthony Martial

Sportsmail said MU has not yet decided which shirt number Rasmus Hojlund will wear because they want to wait for more transfer moves at the club next week.

At Atalanta, Rasmus Hojlund wore the number 17 shirt, and before that he wore the number 9 shirt at Sturm Graz. Currently, those numbers belong to Fred and Anthony Martial, two players who are on the list of players to be sold by the Manchester club.

Martial has received so little interest that he is likely to stay. However, Fred is being linked with both Galatasaray and Fulham.

MU hopes to receive 20 million pounds from selling the Brazilian midfielder. However, the price offered by the two teams above still does not meet the requirements (the highest is 12 million pounds).

In the coming days, if the Red Devils reach an agreement to transfer Fred, the number 17 shirt will belong to new recruit Rasmus Hojlund.

The reason MU postponed buying Sofyan Amrabat

Captain Erik ten Hag said that MU's summer transfer plan is still continuing after welcoming the third new player, Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.

Previously, MU welcomed midfielder Mason Mount and goalkeeper Andre Onana to meet the needs of players suitable for the playing style and requirements of coach Erik ten Hag.

MU's next target is Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, but they are currently postponing the deal because they need to wait for Fred and Van de Beek to be sold.

Coach Erik ten Hag declared that MU does not spend more or less than other teams, because the Premier League is fierce and all teams are shopping to strengthen their squad.

However, statistics show that, despite only arriving at Old Trafford last year, the former Ajax captain has spent more money on shopping for the Red Devils than coach Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool in the past 8 years (396 million Euros compared to 356 million Euros).
