Andres Pereira should be given jersey 7.
The squad numbers ok as far as I am concerned. Not taking the number 8 Jersey from Juan Mata means the guy has a fighting chance to stake his claim as the team’s number 10. Even the coach knows how capable Mata and has no axe togrind with him.
the squard numbers z all ok but i like luke saw to wear jersey no3 not baily. thanks
What about James Wilson?…. What number did United give him?
Cameron Borthwick. Jackson shuld be given jersey 29 & Andres Pereira shuld be given Jersey 26?
I love it but I still need someone like Paul to make a change
