Squad Numbers Announced

There are few surprises in the allocated numbers, with new teenage signing Cristiano Ronaldo being given the famous number 7 jersey.

The shirt has been worn by such United greats as Bryan Robson, George Best, Eric Cantona and most recently David Beckham.

The number 4 jersey, worn by Juan Veron last season, and number 9 jersey, last held by United legend Andy Cole, have both been left vacant.

Wesley Brown has been given Rio Ferdinand's number 6 shirt, with United's record singing taking the number 5.

Fabien Barthez had retained the number 1 shirt, although the odds of him being first choice 'keeper at Old Trafford this season look increasingly slim.

US 'keeper Tim Howard has been given number 14, with Roy Carroll keeping the 13 jersey, and Ricardo being handed the number 17.

New signing David Bellion has been specified the number 12 shirt, whilst other new-boy Kleberson has been made to feel at home, as Sir Alex has given him his World Cup winning number 15 jersey.

Eric Djemba-Djemba has been given the number 19, as he prepares for his first season at Old Trafford.
