Marcus Rashford has been handed the Manchester United No 10 shirt after unveiling his new squad number in their friendly with Bayern Munich on Sunday night.
The young English striker was first seen in his new number after making a return to club action after the World Cup at the Allianz Arena.
Rashford takes over the famed jersey from former incumbent Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It was previously worn by the club's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney for 10 years.
It remains to be seen whether the change from his former No 19 jersey means Rashford will given a more important role in Jose Mourinho's attack next season.
United's squad was boosted by the presence of Rashford and Phil Jones after Mourinho was able to include both England stars following their early return from summer breaks.
Both players were due to be off until midweek, but agreed to come back prematurely to boost numbers. Rashford and Jones made their return to training on Saturday and took part at the Allianz Arena, their final tie before the start of the new season.
Mourinho gave Rashford No 19 in 2016 after the 20-year-old broke through wearing No 39 under Louis Van Gaal.
Rashford joins esteemed company in David Beckham as the only other previous United academy graduate to wear No 10 since squad numbers became fixed in 1993.
Other former wearers of the number include club legends Mark Hughes, Teddy Sheringham and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

This must be an example to Martial..... Rashford is showing the respect every player has to give, I mean we all have bosses at our workplace and some might be a pain in the a** to work with everyday but we show respect though they might not earn it at times! So Martial must use the talent yo speak for him in the playing field and shut Mou but giving him the best performance.

But I think no 10 is too big for Rashford. He’s not reach that level yet to wear the no.10 jersey. Unlike Rooney he is proving-with the skill & the quality he has throughout his time in Manchester United. We should keep no.10 because for now I don’t see any players suit that number. Just my thought!🤞🏻 Perhaps with jersey number change will help to motivate him to improve more. Good luck Rashford. You need to work hard next season as no.10 player

Mourinho has been requesting lots of deserved and expert players but the heads of this club refused to get the ones. I don’t think so this club with Rashford would be succeeded any more as he couldn’t show an acceptable and convincing performance in his national team ✌️⚽️✅

martial must learn from rashford, the boy respect the coache's decisions, that why the mourinho respect him too,,, being stubborn is just nothing but nonsense, it will put his career into a dustbin.... mourinho is the boss, what he wants to be done, is what martial must do,,, he report to him and he can't change that,,, he must learn to be a good boy around elders... tog mani...

I strongly disagree because my boy Marcus Rashy is better than ronaldo and messi combined
Well, we all have different opinion on each player. I didn’t say Rashford is not good he is but ... to compare him with king Ronaldo & Messi, is absolutely blind. Sorry mate I don’t agree on this. But I respect your opinion ✌🏻
