Manchester United announced that Rasmus Hojlund will don the No.9 shirt for the 2024/25 season. Last season, Anthony Martial wore this number.
Rasmus Hojlund, who joined Manchester United from Atalanta during the last summer transfer window, initially wore the No.11 shirt at Old Trafford. In his debut season, the Danish striker scored 16 goals and provided two assists in 43 competitive matches. Although his performance did not fully meet expectations, the club and his coach continue to believe in his potential.
To demonstrate their confidence, the 21-year-old has been granted the No.9 shirt for the upcoming season. This change comes after Anthony Martial, the previous holder of the number, left the club in June. The Red Devils’ faith in Hojlund underscores their commitment to his development and their hope that he will thrive in his new role.
