Manchester United are set to enter yet another new era in 2022/23 as Erik ten Hag takes the reins at Old Trafford.

While United seem to be working hard on incomings behind the scenes, there have been a number of big-name departures on the red side of Manchester - most notably Paul Pogba, who has joined the likes of Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic and Edinson Cavani in leaving as a free agent.

All of that means there will be a lot of movement when it comes to United shirt numbers this summer, with some blockbuster signings and even more dramatic departures expected.

Here are the Man Utd squad's shirt numbers for 2022/23.

What numbers can Premier League players wear?

As long as it is unique within their squad, Premier League players can wear any number between one and 99, although tradition dictates that you will usually see first-teamers donning one to about 30 - barring a few exceptions.

Man City youngster Cole Palmer holds the record for the highest number in Premier League history, turning out in the number 80.

Also following tradition, goalkeepers will generally occupy numbers one and 13.

Premier League players cannot wear the number zero - and that's fair enough because it would be a bit silly.

Can Premier League players change squad numbers?

Premier League players are only allowed to change their squad number during pre-season or if one is sold or loaned to another club in the January transfer window.

Clubs must submit their confirmed squad list - including shirt numbers - by a specified deadline each year, and numbers cannot be changed thereafter. In 2021 that deadline was 1 September.
