TEMPO.CO, Manchester - In light of Giggs’ retirement, United’s jersey number 11 is an open spot to compete among the players. In the end, it is Belgium international Adnan Januzaj that has the honor to wear the jersey.
Januzaj was overwhelmed by the decision, but sensing that the pressure will be tremendous. It was Ryan Giggs himself that convinced the starlet over wearing the anticipated jersey. Former United player Phillip Neville also encouraged Januzaj, saying that the youngster has a lot to offer.
Days before the new season starts, United began signing their jersey number to Football Association (FA) officials. Regardless, there are some empty spots in the number line-up. Rio Ferdinand’s jersey number 5, along legendary jersey number 7, is still an vacant spot for players, possibly new recruits, to obtain.
