Man Utd have announced their squad numbers for the new season and their latest Dutchman is the new No.7.

Memphis Depay is Manchester United's latest No.7.

The Dutchman has inherited the shirt from Angel di Maria, who joined Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday, and will aim to become the latest Red to succeed in Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps following the struggles of Michael Owen, Antonio Valencia and Di Maria.

New right-back Matteo Darmian is No.36, Morgan Schneiderlin is 28, Bastian Schweinsteiger is 31 and Sergio Romero is the club's new No.20.

Peculiarly, Luke Shaw has switched from No.3 to 23.

"It’s the number I feel comfortable with and probably the one I want to carry on with until I finish my career," Shaw said.

Marouane Fellaini is No.27 now Schweinsteiger has taken his number.

And James Wilson is No.19, having switched from 47 to 49 last year since Van Gaal felt a striker should have the number 9 on his back.

Vacant squad numbers include 2, 3, 9 and 15. Victor Valdes and Nick Poweel were not issued numbers.
