United new boy Matheus Cunha has been given Rashford’s iconic shirt number, previously warn by club legends.

Cunha, who became United’s first summer signing when he joined for £62.5million from Wolves, was eyeing the No10 before joining.

The Brazilian striker, 26, previously revealed his hopes of bringing the firepower of Wayne Rooney back to Old Trafford.

Some of United’s greatest players have graced the No10 and bestowed it with unique meaning and pressure.

Rashford has worn three different shirt numbers for United: 39, 19, and 10 – the latter awarded to him in 2018

But the bold decision by Ruben Amorim on Friday is another sign that there is no way for Rashford with his boyhood club.

The other four players asking to leave are Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.

Amorim has told all five they can stay away from pre-season training on Monday to sort out their futures.

United say their medical and rehab facilities will be available to the quintet if they wish to use them.

If their futures are not resolved in the next few weeks, they will be asked to return to Carrington at that stage.


Rashford still has three years remaining on his contract, with Antony’s up in 2027 and Sancho’s running for 12 more months.

Both players spent last season on loan, with Rashford spending six months at Aston Villa and Sancho suiting up for Chelsea for the entire term, before the Blues paid £5million to ditch their obligation to buy the former Borussia Dortmund.

Rashford is keen to try his luck in another country, with Barcelona his preferred destination.

In the Premier League era, ten other players have taken on the No10 mantle.

Prior to 1993, the likes of George Best, Sir Bobby Charlton, and Denis Law all wore the famous shirt during a time when fixed squad numbers were not around.
