Manchester United on Friday announced new squad numbers for some of their players.

In a post on their website, the Red Devils announced that youngsters Tyler Fredricson and Chido Obi will be wearing new shirt numbers in the new 2026/26 season.

Defender Fredricson is moving from number 55 to number 33, after his impressive display last season.

The 20-year-old Academy graduate got his Premier League debut against Wolves in April and also started in the away game at Brentford.

Similarly, Obi, who only finalised his move from Arsenal’s Academy last November, will wear the number 32 shirt in the new season.

The 17-year-old had wore the number 56 following his move from the Gunners.

The latest changes follows the news that Diogo Dalot will wear number 2, while Matheus Cunha will wear number 10.

The likes of Shea Lacey, Bendito Mantato and Reece Munro were given number 61, 70 and 65 squad numbers.

Former Manchester United footballer, Paul Parker, has told the club it would be very embarrassing if they fail to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford this summer.

According to him, the Red Devils would have themselves to blame if they by any chance fail in securing the services of the player who has made it clear he wants an Old Trafford move.

Tottenham Hotspur are said to be keen on hijacking Manchester United’s move for the player, despite the Red Devils being the frontrunners to sign him.

His former boss at Brentford, Thomas Frank, is allegedly keen on reuniting with the 25-year-old at Tottenham.

Parker told Gameshub, as quoted by the Daily Mirror,

“It’ll be very embarrassing for Manchester United if they can’t get the deal for Bryan Mbeumo over the line.

“If they don’t get him, it’ll be down to the club failing to get the deal done, rather than Mbeumo not wanting to go to Old Trafford.”

The forward was exceptional for Brentford in the 2024–25 season, netting 20 times and assisting 9 in 42 games across all competitions.

England winger, Jadon Sancho is on the verge of joining Juventus after a £17.3 million deal was agreed with Manchester United.

Man United have been looking to offload the England international this summer.

This comes after Chelsea recently rejected the opportunity to sign the 25-year-old player for £25 million and paid Man United a £5m penalty fee to send him back to Old Trafford.

Sancho had reached a verbal agreement with Napoli a few weeks ago but Antonio Conte’s side refused to meet the Red Devils’ £21.3m asking price for the player.

However, according to La Stampa, Juventus had a ‘positive’ meeting with the Premier League giants this week over a deal for Sancho and a £17.3 million package has been agreed between both parties.

The report added that Sancho has also agreed a contract with Juventus worth just over £5.2 million per season.

But Sancho and Man United haven’t agreed a severance package and the former Borussia Dortmund star is demanding a minimum of £4.3 million to leave Old Trafford.
