Kobbie Mainoo appears to get new Manchester United squad number as fans notice midfielder's big change

Kobbie Mainoo appears to have been handed a fresh squad number at Manchester United which suggests he could be integrated further into Erik ten Hag's squad in the upcoming season.

The teenager has made three appearances for Ten Hag's side so far. As well as his start against Charlton Athletic in the League Cup quarter-final win against League One Charlton Athletic in January, Mainoo also came off the bench in the FA Cup fourth round win in January, and February's Premier League victory over Leicester City.

Mainoo recently became the latest recipient of the annual Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year Award accolade handed out to United's top youth prospect. The likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Danny Welbeck, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho are all previous winners.
