Amad Diallo Changes Shirt Number

Following from Raphael Varane getting the number 19 shirt, Ivorian international Amad Diallo has been given the number 16 shirt.

“When I was told that I was getting the number 16 shirt, I was happy because I know that Michael Carrick had previously worn that shirt for a long time and so it is a number worn by a legend of the club.

“So I have to respect the number and the players who wore it before me.”

Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Nicky Butt have all previously worn the number 16 at the club.
