Manchester United played their first preseason friendly ahead of the 2015-16 campaign earlier this week as Louis van Gaal’s men beat Club America 1-0.
Three of United’s summer signings Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian and Morgan Schneiderlin – played in that game. Schneiderlin even ended up scoring the winner.
The trio’s appearance on the pitch revealed to the world their new squad numbers. United have stressed that these could change, but it is unlikely that they will as the season draws closer.
Depay – a £25m buy from PSV – was surprisingly given the famous no.9, but full-back Darmian was given the much less prestigious no.36.
Meanwhile, goal hero Schneiderlin is United’s new no.28.
Former Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger made a second-half cameo in the no.23 shirt which was vacated by Tom Cleverley this summer.
