Manchester United now has four top candidates for the No. 11 jersey after announcing Mason Greenwood’s future on Monday. After reaching a mutual understanding with United, Greenwood is prepared to resume his career away from Old Trafford, leaving an illustrious number behind.

Legendary Red Devils players including Sir Bobby Charlton, Denis Law, George Best, and Ryan Giggs have formerly worn the shirt.

Express Sport examines four candidates for the No. 11 jersey now that it appears unlikely that Greenwood would ever play for United once more.

Antony

The most obvious candidate to replace Greenwood as United’s No. 11 is Antony, who wore the uniform for Ajax and Brazil at the Olympics.After completing an £82 million transfer last summer and reuniting with Erik ten Hag in Manchester, he was given the No. 21 jersey.However, the 23-year-old will definitely desire an upgrade now that the chance has presented itself.

The Dutchman will probably have no issues with the idea because he seems to have a big future in Ten Hag’s initiative.Legendary Red Devils players including Sir Bobby Charlton, Denis Law, George Best, and Ryan Giggs have formerly worn the shirt.And Express Sport examines four candidates for the No. 11 jersey now that it appears doubtful Greenwood will ever represent United again.

Alejandro Garnacho

Alejandro Garnacho was the front-runner to wear the No. 7 jersey this summer, which has been empty since Cristiano Ronaldo’s dramatic departure in November.

After completing a £60 million transfer from Chelsea, Mason Mount unexpectedly chose to wear the jersey, which felt like a huge snub.But if Garnacho can maintain his fantastic development this season, perhaps he has already been guaranteed another legendary shirt number.The No. 49 has superstar potential, and if he advances toward realizing it over the next nine months, he may very well become United’s No. 11.

Rasmus Hojlund

After Fred’s £13 million move to Fenerbahce, Rasmus Hojlund is largely anticipated to replace Fred as United’s No. 17 once he appears to be ready for his debut.The 20-year-old Dane may wish to carry on in the same vein at his dream club as he did at Atalanta.However, the No. 11 jersey is appropriate for a star forward, and Ten Hag will undoubtedly hope he develops into one after his £72 million transfer.Despite confirming Fred’s exit earlier this month, United has curiously said nothing regarding his phone number.This might be an indication that Hojlund will eventually wear No. 11 in front of the Stretford End.
