The 20-year-old was given the number 11 jersey which was worn by Mason Greenwood who is currently on loan to Getafe. This transfer of Greenwood means that Rasmus Højlund will lead the Red Devils front line ahead of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
The club confirmed in a statement that the forward was given the number 11 shirt because that was the number that he also wears for Denmark. At club level, Hojlund has never worn the 11 in senior football, only ever donning the shirt during his time with FC Copenhagen’s Under-19s.
