What could be Noussair Mazraoui’s potential jersey number at Man United?

Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of signing Bundesliga side Bayern Munich’s defender Noussair Mazraoui. An agreement in principle has been ‘found’ between both the European clubs. Reports also had it that alongside Mazraoui, Bayern’s Matthijs de Ligt will also be joining Man United.

In his initial season at Ajax for the senior side, the 26-year-old right-back played with the number 40 jersey. The following season he donned the number 12. He went on with the same number for the remainder of his stint with the Dutch side. When Mazraoui joined Bayern Munich in 2022, he was again found wearing the number 40.

On the international stage, he dons the number 3 jersey for Morocco. Coming back to what could be his potential shirt number at Man United, the numbers 40 and 12 are not termed to be available at this moment at Old Trafford. However, reports do lay out that number 40 could be vacant as the transfer window nears its close with goalkeeper Radek nearing an exit.

Jersey numbers 3 and 4 are also available at the United, and at this stage, it looks more likely that if everything goes as planned from the transfer point of view, Noussair Mazraoui and Mattijs de Ligt can don the numbers 3 and 4 respectively. While as per ’90MIN’, other shirt numbers that are currently available at the Red Devils are 42, 38, 33, 31, 30, 27, 19, and 13.
