While they have announced the arrival of Christian Eriksen on a free transfer from Brentford, Manchester United are still yet to make his squad number official.
United fans are being forced to wait before buying a shirt with Eriksen's name on the back due to the club's decision. It is somewhat unusual for a player to not have their squad number revealed at the same time their arrival at a new club is confirmed.
There could be good reason for United holding back Eriksen's number, with it potentially having an impact on future transfer moves. At his most recent clubs, the Dane's number has tended to be in the 20's.
