Manchester United officially confirmed that Cunha wore No. 10 and has notified Rashford!

Manchester United has confirmed that £62.5 million new player Cunha will become the team's new No. 10 player, and he will replace Rashford, who has retained this back number since 2018. Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano confirmed the news. Cunia also wore the No. 10 jersey in the Wolves last season. British media have long revealed that the Red Devils promised to give him this number in the negotiations to attract him to join.

After the fixed jersey number in the Premier League, Manchester United's No. 10 players were generally quite successful, first of which was Mark Hughes, and later Beckham, Sheringham, Van Nystruei and Rooney all made great contributions to Ferguson's championship. The moments that fans were impressed by were naturally Beckham's midfield shot, Van Nie's single ride, and Rooney's barbs to destroy Manchester City. In his first official interview after joining Manchester United, Cunha mentioned that he remembered the main lineup when Manchester United won the Champions League in 2008, especially Rooney No. 10.

The British Daily Mail reported that after confirming the replacement of the owner of the No. 10 jersey, the club emphasized that Rashford is still an important member of the team's history in recent years and will be respected as one of the club's most successful youth training players.

Rashford's performance fluctuated after winning the No. 10 jersey seven years ago, including the highlights of winning the Champions League penalty against Paris Saint-Germain and 30 goals in a single season, as well as various downturns and off-court farces. Now, he is expected to leave the team this summer. According to analysis, Manchester United deprived him of the No. 10 jersey, which also reminded him to leave the team as soon as possible.

It is said that Rashford dreams of joining Barcelona, ​​but the La Liga champion may not take action so early, and wants to wait until the last moment of the summer transfer window to force Manchester United to agree to rent and bear part of the salary. It is reported that the 27-year-old English Demon Star will return to Carrington as usual next Monday (July 7), and hope to participate in the normal joint training of the entire team. Sources confirmed that Master La promised to do his best in training (giving 100 per cent).

Unfortunately, this is not the scene that Manchester United and Amorin hope to see. They hope that Rashford will leave quickly, so their jersey number will be cancelled as a warning. Romano explained: "Rashford must leave the team, the club has made a decision, and Manchester United and Amorin no longer expect him. Barcelona is still the first choice for the player's transfer window this summer, but there is no substantial progress at this stage, and the team has other options."

Romano also revealed that Rashford learned the news one day earlier than the fans: "Manchester United also informed Rashford's agent in advance, that Cunha will replace him with the No. 10 jersey. It is definitely over between Manchester United and Rashford (definitely over). But Rashford still dreams of transferring to Barcelona, ​​which is his preferred choice in the future.

Another transfer expert Ben Jacobs introduced: "Cunha requires a No. 10 jersey. He is the kind of player who wants to be the protagonist and is willing to bear the pressure of wearing this number. However, Cunha also respects the fact that when he joined Manchester United, Rashford was still wearing No. 10 jersey. Manchester United sued early Knowing Rashford, Cunha will get No. 10. Rashford expressed his understanding because he is considering leaving the team. All parties believe that his departure is a suitable ending, and Rashford's first choice is still Barcelona. "

Manchester United still sells Rashford's No. 10 jersey when the new home jersey for the 2025/26 season was released, but found that the sales volume was not easy, so they decided to change the number and lead the protagonist, which will greatly stimulate fans' desire to buy. Red Devils coach Amorin has returned to Carrington this week, but Cunha will not return to the team on Monday because of his two World Cup qualifiers for Brazil.

However, if Rashford's transfer progress continues to be as unrealized as it is, then Cunia will eventually have to face the ex-10 in awkward manner on the training ground, and he will explain to the other party why he asked to wear the 10th.
