Rasmus Hojlund has been assigned a new shirt number for the upcoming season at Manchester United, hinting at the number new signing Joshua Zirkzee will wear. United confirmed on social media that Hojlund will now don the No. 9 shirt, previously worn by Anthony Martial.

The announcement was accompanied by a photo of Hojlund holding up his new shirt with the caption, “Let’s cook.” Hojlund, who was initially given the number 11 shirt after joining from Atalanta last summer, inherits a jersey worn by notable United players like Dimitar Berbatov and Andy Cole. The Danish striker scored 16 goals in 43 appearances during his debut season in England and is part of Erik ten Hag’s 29-man squad for their USA tour.

The change in Hojlund’s number suggests that new signing Zirkzee, who completed a £36.5 million move from Bologna, might inherit the number 11 shirt. Zirkzee previously wore the number 11 at Bologna and the number 32 at Bayern Munich.
