Man Utd officially confirm that their new signing Harry Maguire will wear the no.5 shirt for Manchester United this season.
The defender was announced as their third summer signing on Monday, joining the club from Premier League side Leicester City.
Maguire wore the no.15 shirt during his two-year stint at the King Power Stadium, when the no.5 shirt was unavailable due to captain Wes Morgan occupying it.
Harry had previously worn no.5 at former clubs Hull City and Sheffield United, while he has tended to don the no.6 jersey for England.
The 26-year-old could be seen for the first time in his new United shirt during Sunday’s Premier League opener against Chelsea at Old Trafford.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will hopefully provide an update on Maguire's availability, in his pre-match press conference on Friday.
Maguire is actually just the sixth player to hold the the no.5 shirt on a permanent basis for United, and the first since the 2017/18 campaign.

Bruno to replace Ander Herrera, Longstuff to replace M. Fellaini, and M. Ndombele to replace R. Lukaku. Man U management should consider buying as many players as possible to keep the team strong during injury time. we had more than 6 first team players injured in 2018/2019 campaign. make sure that is avoided by having extra quality players to take over if it happens again in the future.

We signed Rio Ferdinand for a world record fee for a CB,He wore No5 jersey and was England's best CB amd arrived from a midtable team like Leeds Utd with huge expectation. Now we signed Harry Maguire for a new world record fee,he will be wearing No5,He is England's best CB and will be arriving from Leicester. Sounds like history is going to repeat itself
