Squad numbers for the remainder of the season have been finalised by Manchester United - after the January transfer window came and went without any further additions.
Having finished as runners-up to Manchester City in the Premier League last season, key figures in the Old Trafford boardroom issued a triple statement of intent - signing Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and their returning five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
That show-stopping finale saw United ask for special dispensation for Ronaldo to be assigned number seven.
Edinson Cavani wore the shirt number during his first season with the Premier League giants but, after agreeing to vacate that jersey for Ronaldo, the Uruguay striker was handed number 21.
Despite agreeing to spend the rest of this season on loan at Sevilla and Everton respectively, Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek continue to hold numbers 9 and 34.
The same goes for other players enjoying temporary spells away from Old Trafford.
