The announcement of Alejandro Garnacho as Manchester United’s new number 17 is imminent.

With a photo of the United attacker sporting the jersey that Fred had worn before leaving, his brother verified this on X.

Garnacho was the front-runner to win the No. 7 jersey, which unexpectedly went to Mason Mount.

Even the idea of the Argentinean trading his 49 for Mason Greenwood’s 11 was floated.

Although there has been no formal confirmation, it appears that he will occupy position 17.
