Joshua Zirkzee's clear departure from the summer is one, but there are other options.
Not sure about you, but when we at FFT used to spend sabbaticals away from school, we used to sketch out what our team ' club numbers should be for the upcoming year.
That was in the time when numbers 1 to 11 were more highly prized and people used to get upgraded as a rite of passage, of course, whereas now more and more people are devoted to the amounts they get given earlier in their professions: Phil Foden's 47 for Manchester City, Trent Alexander-Arnold's 66 for England, and so on.
So it's not as simple to imagine where a star signing might fit into the club range hierarchy, such as Joshua Zirkzee, a fresh Manchester United player.
Which variety did Joshua Zirkee have on his shirt at Manchester United?
The good news for seasoned students is that Zirkzee does n't seem to have a particular preference: throughout his career, he has tried to lower it as he goes. Within cause, like, he's not going to get complete Milan Baros and wearing number 5. He'd have to struggle Harry Maguire for it anyhow.
Zirkzee's first top appearances for Bayern Munich were in the number 35 shirt in 2019/2020, but he was given the number 14 shirt the following season, which is appropriate and suitable for a Dutchman who has been renownedly favored by Johan Cruyff.
Zirkzee's move on payment to Parma saw him wear 17, then in another product to Anderlecht, it was 23. On his returning to Bayern Munich, he was in 32, with his number 14 having been taken by Paul Wanner. In his first half-season at Bologna, Zirkzee wore range 11, but next time swapped it for 9, a la Roberto Firmino.
Zirzkee has worn 9, 10 and 11 for the Dutch under-21s ( as well as# 20 ), while at Euro 2024, he was allocated the number 21 shirt.
We'd venture to guess that he would really like to wear the top at Manchester United, which is gladly unoccupied now that Anthony Martial has left the club.
He has worn 35 different figures in the past, compared to Luke Shaw's 23, Antony Shaw's 21, Christian Eriksen's 14, Rasmus Hojlund's 11, and Marcus Rashford's 10, all nailed down.
Sir Bobby Charlton, Andy Cole, Dimitar Berbatov, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were past Manchester United range 9s.
Martial was really in his next charm as United's range 9, having formerly given it up to Ibrahimovic, who passed it on to Romelu Lukaku upon his departure in 2017.
And that's numberwang.
