Sofyan Amrabat will wear the famous number 4 shirt at Manchester United
Phil Jones left Manchester United this summer after his contract ended with the club. He used to wear that number 4 shirt. Man Utd fans heard rumours about Raphael Varane wanting that number but Phil Jones refused to give up. Owen Hargreaves used to wear this number 4 shirt.
Juan Sebastian Veron was another famous international player to wear the number 4 for Man Utd. Apart from him, the legendary United captain, Steve Bruce also wore this jersey. After him, it was David May’s turn to wear the number 4. Amrabat will now wear that number for this season.
At Fiorentina, Amrabat used to wear the number 34. However, at United, that number is occupied by Donny van de Beek. So, he took up the number 4 that Phil Jones left vacant. Donny is also on the way out of Manchester United as he is linked to Fenerbahce.
So, Man United fans, do you think Sofyan Amrabat will successfully carry on the legacy of the number 4 shirt at United? Let us know in the comments!
