Manchester United have confirmed squad numbers for their three transfer deadline day signings and new striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund will wear the no11 shirt, the same number he wears for Denmark. The 20-year-old joined United in a £72million deal from Atalanta but is still to make his debut for the club due to a back issue.

The Dane could make his first appearance for the club on Sunday against Arsenal with Erik ten Hag confirming he is in the squad to take on last season’s Premier League runners up.

Goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has been handed the no1 shirt, vacated by David de Gea this summer.

The 25-year-old, who arrived from Fenerbahce on the final day of the summer window, is expected to serve as Andre Onana’s understudy with the Cameroon international wearing 24, the number he has worn throughout his career.

Sergio Regulion, brought in on loan from Tottenham to provide cover at left-back with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia ruled out, will wear no15, last worn by Marcel Sabitzer during his loan stay at Old Trafford during the second-half of last season.

Jonny Evans meanwhile will wear no35 after signing a one-year deal with the club.

The arrival of Sofyan Amrabat rounded off United’s flurry of late business.

The 26-year-old joined Erik ten Hag’s side on  an initial one-year loan deal with the option to make the deal permanent next summer.

His late arrival means he is not eligible to make his debut against the Gunners with United still to confirm his squad number, which will be revealed ‘once his registration is completed’.

Hojlund, Reguilon, Bayindir and Evans have all travelled to north London along with Hojlund.

Jadon Sancho and Scott McTominay have reportedly not made the journey, potentially joining United’s lengthy injury list which already includes Shaw, Malacia, Mason Mount, Raphael Varane, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo.
