👀🔴 Marcus Rashford Wore No. 9 for Man United! Could a NEW Shirt Number Be Coming?

Marcus Rashford’s return to Manchester United has already sparked plenty of discussion — and his shirt number has now added another twist. 👀🔴

Rashford wore the No. 9 shirt during United’s pre-season clash against AC Milan, despite reports that he had been assigned the No. 14 shirt following his return from Barcelona.

That has naturally led to speculation among supporters: could Rashford actually be given a different number before the new Premier League season officially begins?

The situation is particularly interesting because Rashford’s old No. 10 shirt is now occupied by summer signing Matheus Cunha. That means the England international cannot simply return to his previous number.

🔢 Why No. 9 matters

Seeing Rashford in No. 9 has fuelled speculation that Manchester United could still make changes to their squad numbers before the final registration.

However, the number worn in a pre-season friendly does not necessarily mean it has been permanently assigned. Reports indicate that United’s squad numbers are still subject to finalisation, meaning Rashford’s No. 9 appearance could simply have been temporary.

Still, the timing is intriguing.

With Benjamin Šeško also attracting attention over the No. 9 shirt, United supporters will be watching closely to see which number Rashford ultimately receives when the official squad list is confirmed.

👀 A fresh start for Rashford?

Regardless of the number on his back, Rashford’s return represents an important moment in his Manchester United career.

After loan spells with Aston Villa and Barcelona, the forward is back in the United setup under Michael Carrick and has been given another opportunity to prove himself at Old Trafford.

Now the question is simple:

Will Marcus Rashford start the 2026/27 season wearing No. 14, No. 9 — or could another surprise be coming? 👀🔴

Manchester United fans may not have to wait much longer for the answer.
