In a surprising move, Manchester United have preempted the official reveal by disclosing the jersey numbers their stars will don at this year’s World Cup.

Marcus Rashford retains his iconic number 11, continuing the tradition from his previous appearances in the 2021 Euros and 2022 World Cup.

Emerging talent Kobbie Mainoo upgrades to the number 16 jersey after making his international debut with number 26 at Euro 2024.

The Football Association was set to announce England’s complete squad numbers later in the day.
