Defender Tyler Fredricson, who impressed in his Premier League debut against Wolves in April and started at Brentford, has been promoted from number 55 to 33. The 20-year-old is a graduate of United’s Academy.
Chido Obi, 17, who joined from Arsenal’s Academy last November, will now wear number 32, moving from his previous number 56.
The club also confirmed new numbers for other players. “Diogo Dalot will wear number 2, while Matheus Cunha will wear number 10,” the statement read.
Academy prospects Shea Lacey, Bendito Mantato, and Reece Munro have been assigned numbers 61, 70, and 65 respectively.
The squad number changes reflect the club’s focus on youth development and come as preparations continue for the new season under manager Erik ten Hag.
