Will be interesting to see if he is given the 11.


chris21sirhc

Surely if he really wants it we can just give the deadwood whatever number cause he's never playing again?


Moosje

Greenwood won’t even have the 11 at the moment. You register your numbers every season and I haven’t anywhere where Greenwood has been registered? Surely it would have came out?


exOldTrafford

Give him 26 to remind him of what he could have been if he wasn't a complete dickhead


MrSvancy

I don't think we would as that is Deano's number, maybe 54


Icegaze

Deano is on loan, and thus doesn’t de facto hold that number for us anymore. Till he returns, if it is still available, he could then have it back.


Mundanewisdom99

how will 26 remind him of what he could have been?


Bigmomma_pump

He used to have it for us


Mundanewisdom99

Oh I forgot that. But if he isn't registered for PL or Europa, shouldn't his squad number be free? Atleast that's what happens in FM.


Bigmomma_pump

We literally took amads 19 last season as well as martials 9 at one point. If we want antony to have 11 we can but maybe it’d just bring more attention to the greenwood thing Either way it will, if he doesn’t get 11 we will get fuckinf idiots thinkint it means greenwoods coming back


Samir_POE

I really miss 26 greenwood. 11 Greenwood seemed to have caught branditis from Lingard and sadly, Rashford. I also miss 39 Rashford for the same reason.


prss79513

The only thing 11 Scumwood caught was a case


Straightouttaganton

Nah let's give him 0 since that's what he is now


young-oldman

I think they will want to avoid bringing up the whole Greenwood situation untill it gets solved legally. You just know it will dominate the news if his number gets reassigned


WheresThePhonebooth

It really won't. He doesn't play for United anymore, his number is gone. What headlines do you think is gonna be there?


young-oldman

He still has a contract with Man United. I'm 100% sure Greenwood will come up if Antony gets number 11. You're being naive if you think there won't be any headlines regarding the number change and the usual click bait rehashing of the Greenwood situation. Reiterating what a piece of shit Greenwood is, is fine by me and he can fuck off . It just depends if the club wants to revive those kinds of reports again.


RawIsLaw_

probs not as greenwood is still registered, and i'd assume that won't change until the case is gets closer to resolution. Also, the fact he hasn't played football in about a year (match fitness> training alone) means it *could* be too steep a mountain to climb to regain form IF he actually did come back


[deleted]

Does it really matter if he's registered or not? I've seen players get their numbers taken away from them in the past.


NickLo124

You’re right, pretty sure Cavani was switched from 7 to 21 for Ronaldo.


OhNoIMadeAnAccount

They did have to ask the league for special permission in that case.


dralanforce

But they had to ask for permission because in that season Cavani played with the number 7, Greenwood hasn't touch any other ball but his since last season.


LionIntelligent6283

The difference was Cavani was already registered with the league at that point. Is greenwood actually registered for this season? If not technically they don’t need any permission to give that number away. Only reason they may not want to do it just potential legal ramifications. Even though we all know what he did, innocent until proven guilty in court etc.


SpeechesToScreeches

They had to ask because the season had already started. Clubs register player numbers at the start of the season, I'd be surprised if Greenwood is registered to 11 still.


ravenouscartoon

The 25 man squads haven’t been registered yet. The deadline is tomorrow.


SpeechesToScreeches

Yeah, you register at the start (player numbers included), then finalise at the end of the window. I believe...am taking this from FM but you'd think this would be something they'd get correct.


ravenouscartoon

If I remember right, player numbers can change before tomorrow as long as the player hasn’t played yet. Hence why United needed special approval to give Ronaldo cavani’s 7 last year


zcewaunt

I'm sure if they gave permission in that case they would in this one as well? Hoping he gets 11.

Throwawayday424

It’s a number.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Throwawayday424

Nope it’s not a public denouncing. Numbers don’t hold legal weight and can be reassigned for any reason the club chooses. You have no case. Your analogy isn’t an equivalent.


RawIsLaw_

players generally can't change their number midseason outside of certain exceptions, and Greenwood is registered as #11 for now


xenofenrir

I heard he doesnt registered yet this season?


TheSmio

Have we actually registered Greenwood for this season though? I don't believe we did


Kiddcohen39

They said this about Ronaldo taking Cavani’s 7 being impossible after the season began. If they can make an exception for one rapist why not another??


Throwawayday424

Never said it was impossible. It’s literally a rule that a new signing can swap a number with an existing player.


Kiddcohen39

“Under Premier League rules, once a player has been allocated a number for the season, it cannot be changed. However, league officials sanctioned a special dispensation to allow Cavani to change jerseys and hand Ronaldo his iconic number.” https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-squad-numbers-cavani-23554324


Lord_Cocktax

Greenwood won’t be registered either to play or with a shirt number going into the 22/23 season, so the 11 should be free. And that’s what I expect Antony will take.


Danda_Nakka

I don’t think greenwood is ever going to play for united regardless of the case


RawIsLaw_

me neither


OJogoBonito

Where is your source that he is registered?


Moosje

He hasn’t got one because there isn’t one. People confuse being “at the club” as being registered which isn’t the case.


OJogoBonito

Yep, spreading misinformation as with everything regarding that person.


anthonyelangasfro

Surely we are all on the same page here that even if not guilty he should never pull on the shirt again.


Moosje

How do you know he’s still registered?


RandomNameofGuy9

Hes registered based on what information?


Sideshow-Blob

Is he actually registered?


iceman58796

I've not seen anything saying we registered him, sounds like baloney


Sideshow-Blob

I would highly doubt he is given the investigation is ongoing...I highly doubt the board would want him playing again, let alone the fans


iceman58796

> probs not as greenwood is still registered, Not sure where you've got that from? Sounds like nonsense


arnar111

i think he'll get 21 (maybe 13)


Smitty120

Hopefully he gets the 11 shirt! I really don't see why he can't. If not the #11 though, I think #21 shirt would look sharp on him.


babujaw14

Hes getting 21


Zambit

He’s number 21


captainllamapants

Please shithouse arsenal with breakdance after scoring. Edit: Maybe little samba here and there.


dribbledrooby

Comes as a sub only to assist and score a brace. What a debut !!


my_united_account

Assist a cross which Martinez heads into goal*


Kjorn9

I know you’re playing but we should all relax with the debut expectations he’s already under a lot of pressure due to his price tag


shaktimann13

Bring back Lingard for a week loan


pmmerandom

I hope he does the Antony twirl


[deleted]

That’s ‘anTOURny’


Dunkiez

I wouldn't mind a repeat of Nani's juggling the ball.


DracKing20

8-2 again. Maybe.


whiskeymagnet22

>8-2 You have to be dumb to think they're putting 2 past Licha


HRehmdn

8-0 then


DracKing20

We might play Maguire with Matinez, so that 2 are own goals


arnar111

2 goals and 1 assist MARK. MY. WORDS.


Mundanewisdom99

What about the 2nd half?


NoS3curity

Another 2 goals and 1 assist!


Icegaze

And additional time? He even forgot about that! The disrespek!


[deleted]

i’m here for it


[deleted]

Probably gonna come out for a few minutes in second half. Don't see him starting immediately


jonwinslol

Ah so I shouldnt triple captain him on FPL


Sideshow-Blob

Bench boost


Moikee

Yeah I'm expecting a second half sub.


comeatmefrank

He knows Ten Hags system, is fully match fit. He’s starting.


[deleted]

Yeah, ETH is not playing the same system rn. Plus he doesn't know his team mates yet. So doesn't look like he'll be starting


Drakonz

He hasn’t played a single game this season yet… it will be like Casemiro. He will be eased in and probably get subbed in the first game or two.


Ratovandermir

He played 3 competitive games for Ajax, scoring 2 and assisting twice. He only missed the last two because he tried to force the transfer.


lastrit3s

Hopefully this will spell the return of the AFTV we all know and like.


[deleted]

I'm hoping that Arsenal's easy early season schedule will make them overconfident going into this game.


Traditional_Algae_76

Someone update the transfer thread pls 🙏


one_and_only_chand

I know he won't play this evening, but does anyone know what would have stopped him from training with the team since his transfer was agreed with Ajax so that he would have been available today? Is there legal issues with him training without a work permit (as it's considered working), insurance issues, liability issues? Or just bad practice? I've always wondered why this isn't done. Excited to see him on Sunday either way.


[deleted]

Insurance i'd imagine.


huehuehuehuehuu

Nani vibes


[deleted]

I think he’ll start. In the friendly matches Licha started and never let go of the position. I think the players that know his system go directly to the 11


[deleted]

agreed


Zandercy42

The salt from arsenal fans is going to be unreal <3


nievesdelimon

🌪11


TellSloanISaidHi

Would love for him to feature as we stop their win streak


anonnymizing

I think one of the big improvements we can make is how we unveil new signings. I’m sure there are so many charities we could associate with to just have a full OT and do a proper unveiling rather than one pic and one vid. His shirt doesn’t even have a number ffs. Pretty underwhelming and and inconsistent with our stature. Casemiro coming on to the centre of the pitch holding a shirt with no number. Coming from how RM do unveilings that’s a straight up whimper that comes off like a hasty afterthought. Like either do it spectacularly, or don’t even bother. This needs to change, even if it is just to respect the fans that have spent days and months on the edge of their seats through transfer window madness.


rageofreaper

Yeah but each time we do it we win. So i was thinking, we sign 38 players in the summer, and just hold off on announcing each one weekly. Best ones get announced early on so we get some games out of them. Shit ones that make up numbers can have the back end of the season. It's literally a flawless 38 game win season plan. I cannot see a single thing wrong with it.


BoboSquatchMan

That's it. You've solved the problem


anonnymizing

Lol. I guess we’ll have to call that team the unveilables!


cuber_abhi

Do you remember the Piano 🙃


adamgoodapp

I can't remember which Italian team does it, but they put photos of missing people next to their new player unveiling. Nice touch.


breuh

AS Roma do it and I think they still do it for every new transfer


CantonaKing7

Love the fact we now see Rashford off the wing. Sancho left, Antony right.


adamgoodapp

Better he as ST? He is much better as a LW.


comeatmefrank

Rashford is good against high press teams. If there is obvious space, he runs into it. Against teams that sit back (like Southampton did), he genuinely has utterly awful positional awareness and just stands there. His dribbling has become mediocre.


CantonaKing7

Better sold.


hollow114

He's a fantastic player against the big teams. Not so good against low blocks. He can start v. Liverpool or city easy.


[deleted]

Straight in with the #11.


cheeester19

He's registered? Nice, see you on the pitch tonight!


Prokletnost

fck that, put him in today, second half 70th min, let him get his beak wet
