They should just force clubs to wear 1 to 11 in order of position.

None of this 'oooh that number is special' nonsense. Cants.

It's been said Hojlund is getting Fred's number 17 hasn't it? Probably why he's not on there.

No Greenwood yet either. Club making an absolute meal of this whole saga. I genuinely think they are terrified of announcing the news and probably waiting for the first game to start tomorrow night and hoping the news of his return gets less heat off the back of it

If the news is that he’s returning, then yes, they deserve to be facking terrified of announcing it.

It's Greenwood I was referring to. Perhaps the club have done this on the relative QT to gauge reaction.

Very fair opinion but that's what all the rumours are saying is going to happen.

Announce it and get it done if so. It's going to upset plenty of people im sure but then we do live in an innocent until proven guilty society too so it's not going to upset everyone. Plenty want him back and plenty don't.

Hojlund to take Martials number I reckon.

They are clearly cacking their pants with making it public. 4 different newspapers this week all went with the same story that he's being kept at the club in some capacity. Whether that's in the U23's for a few months or back into the first team picture.

Personally I think it's looking likely he will play with the 23's for a few months to regain fitness and form and why the heat dies down.

Makes sense. Gives them a chance to see if he is worth the fuss. If he plays till December banging it in, he'll get less pressure coming back.

Incredibly he's still only 21 as well....so his career is certainly not over by any means.

He's going to have very thick skin and incredible resilience though to get back to anything like he was previously. Not an easy feat.

I understand Onana doesn't want the #1, but how do we not have a #3 & #4?

Pavard #3 and Amrabat #4 perhaps?

Bailly maybe?

Whoever gets Phil Jones' number 4 will probably find it's made out of sticking plasters and bandages.

Aren't we supposed to be making a decision about Greenwood before the first game? Considering we are only few days away from that, surely if he was going to be in the squad then we'd have given him a number now?

No different to the fact Hjolund doesn't yet have a squad no, and 4 or 5 players we expect to leave have been given one.

No reason to give him a number now as these numbers are provisional and subject to change. I don't think his name/number being excluded tells us anything either way.

Perhaps not. But you'd have thought we'd have made the decision before announcing the numbers. It's getting a bit embarrassing now
