Marcus Rashford looks set to take over the No.10 shirt at Manchester United after wearing the jersey against Bayern Munich.

The striker was named in the starting eleven and United fans quickly spotted Rashford was not wearing his usual No.19 shirt.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the last Red Devil to wear the No.10 shirt, having inherited it from long-term owner Wayne Rooney.

Marcus Rashford is considered as a United great in the making, and fans were delighted to see the youngster emerge with the iconic number on his back.

The Bayern game is certainly an indication Rashford will wear the shirt for the coming season, but United are yet to confirm their squad numbers to the Premier League.

United take on Leicester City in their league opener on Friday, with Rashford set to play some part in the game after returning late to pre-season.
