It's always the most fun part of a Football Manager season, and it's pretty exciting for fans of the club too as Manchester United have unveiled their new squad numbers for the first season under Jose Mourinho.
And there has been some big changes, in particular to accomodate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has taken Anthony Martial's #9. The Frenchman won't be too upset as he has taken the famous #11 shirt, which in turn means Adnan Januzaj has been handed #15.
Here is the full list of squad numbers:
