Matthijs De Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui’s squad numbers have been verified by Manchester United.

United officially signed central defender De Ligt to a five-year deal on Tuesday, after he had already sealed a £43 million transfer to Old Trafford.Erik ten Hag, the Dutch national team’s manager from when he was a youth and rose to fame at Ajax, is reunited with the player.

With the addition of Mazraoui, a defender for Bayern Munich, United have attempted to fortify their defense this summer. A four-year contract was inked by the Moroccan international.

Following a foot injury sustained on his second appearance, former Lille defender Leny Yoro is anticipated to miss about three months of action; however, the Red Devils were reputedly the first club to sign Yoro this summer, beating out Real Madrid and Liverpool.

After Phil Jones, Owen Hargreaves, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, and Gabriel Heinze all wore the same number at Old Trafford—the one that De Ligt will be wearing—the number was last worn by Sofyan Amrabat.

The number three jersey, previously worn by Eric Bailly, will be worn by Mazraoui this season.

On Friday night, in the Premier League opener against Fulham, Ten Hag’s squad might have the two players making their debuts.
