Manchester United's 72 million signing Rasmus Hojlund is still waiting for a new squad number.

The Denmark forward has signed on the dotted line at the Red Devils, but is not likely to be fit for a few weeks.

Per The Mail, Hojlund does not have a new number for one simple reason: it is not available yet.

United believe they will be selling one or two players in the coming week, which will free up squad numbers.

Reporter Fabrizio Romano suggested that Brazilian midfielder Fred and Dutchman Donny van de Beek may be departing.

Fred's no.17 may be the number that Hojlund is eyeing for the coming season at United.
