Matheus Cunha will get the legendary no. 10 shirt from Marcus Rashford after completing his £ 62.5 million move to Old Trafford.
The Brazilian becomes the newest in a long line of players to wear the holy sweater. In the Premier League era, 10 other players took over the cloak.
Before 1993, such as George Best, Sir Bobby Charlton, and Denis Law, all wore the No. 10 at a time when the fixed squad figures were not there.
In the past, Shirt Nos 1 to 11 were usually assigned based on starting position. But now they have a story behind them – it's the players who define the song, not the other way around.
Some of the largest players in United have adorned the No. 10 and donated with unique meaning and pressure.
And here Mail Sport looks back at every Red Devil to try it in the Premier League era.
Mark Hughes (1993-95)
The first season of the Premier League in 1992-93 saw no assigned squad figures. Mark Hughes, however, often wore this no and when they were assigned in 1993-94, this famous no of him became.
Those two season yielded his usual goals and trophies during the Dominance of United that decade. He scored 34 goals in 100 games in all competitions alone those two seasons – with the Red Devils who won a Premier League and FA Cup Double in 1993-94.
After Hughes had left the club, the no was empty for a season until the man below took it …
David Beckham (1996-97)
For a whole generation, David Beckham is a stylish figure whose free kicks they desperately tried to imitate in parks and streets throughout the country; Children who spoil their bodies in unnatural positions in a unsuccessful attempt to meet the ball in the right place and 'bow to Beckham'.
Before he was wearing iconic no. 7, Beckham had a short period with the No. 10 on his back. It was with this shirt that he made his first steps to become a household name, with a spectacular halfway against Wimbledon on the opening day of the 1996-97 season.
The midfielder invented the back of the net from 57 meters, a goal that was later voted as the 18th largest sports moment ever by the British audience, in a poll carried out by Channel 4.
Beckham won six Premier League titles with the Red Devils and scored 85 goals in 394 performances. Although these figures are not too poor, we all know that his impact extended beyond the Statblad. If Cunha could emulate half of what Beckham did at United, he would go into the history of the club forever.
Teddy Sherdingham (1997-2001)
After Eric Cantona's shock in 1997, Teddy Sheringham had large boots to fill in the front for United. He joined Tottenham for £ 3.5 million and wore the No. 10 for his entire term of office until 2001 in Old Trafford.
During this time he made 153 performances and scored 46 goals, the most important of which was in the final of the Champions League of 1999.
The 6FT 1 in striker came from the bank to score an equalizer against Bayern Munich in extra time, before the winning goal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer achieved a historical Treble for United, a little later.
During his term of office, Sheringham won three Premier League titles, while his most productive goal season in his Swansong year came to the club when he scored 15 goals. To think that he had trouble making the best three players on this list, says a lot about the history of NO 10 shirt from United.
Ruud van Nistelrooy (2001-06)
Ruud van Nistelrooy cannot technically be called 'correct no. 9' because his goal capicians at United were performed with the No. 10 draped on the back of his shirt – but you understand.
In his debut season in the club, the Dutchman achieved 23 goals in 32 league games, scored in eight consecutive games and the PFA player of the year was named the PFA players.
In addition to an injuries of 2004-05, Van Nistelrooy scored 20 or more goals in every Premier League season in which he played.
He left Old Trafford after five seasons with a total of 150 goals in 219 performances, and four more trophies to his name, including a Premier League title. Of each player on this list, a player like Van Nistelrooy is perhaps perhaps the current United shouts the most.
Wayne Rooney (2007-2017)
After he had received the No. 8 when he arrived from Everton in 2005, Wayne Rooney switched to Nr. 10 for the 2007-08 season.
And it was with the double digits on his back that he carried out most of the work that cemented him as one of the largest players in United ever – perhaps their biggest.
After a change, Rooney won four Premier League titles, a FA Cup, a Champions League and more. The former club captain is United's Top Goalscorer of all time with 253 goals in 559 games.
Rooney's legacy is unspoken. He embodied everything it wanted to play for United, not only wearing the NO 10 shirt. He was a real favorite with fans and a paragon that the club begs since his exit.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (2017-18)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic initially contributed no. 9 when he came to United in 2016 on a free transfer from PSG. In his first season, he proved why he was still one of Europe's most dangerous fronts and scored 28 goals in 46 games.
His season was demolished by an ACL injury sustained in April 2017, but he still played an important role in leading United to an EFL cup and a Europa League title.
But despite all his self -declaration, who saw him calling himself as a lion or even as 'Zlatan' in the third person, father season claimed the victory over the seemingly indomitable Ibrahimovic.
He was wearing the No. 10 in his second season, which was derailed by his knee injury, which means that he only made seven performances in all competitions and only scored once. Consequently, the Swede contract in March 2018 was terminated by mutual permission.
Marcus Rashford (2018-2025)
Few graduates from Carrington are completely bent on stage as Marcus Rashford did. He made his stamp after he was called on the eleventh hour to replace Anthony Martial in a Europa League match against Midtjylland in 2016. Rashford scored a brace in that match, then another against Arsenal only a few days later.
Given the NO 10 -shirt in 2018, Rashford was tipped to participate in the ranks of club icons. Although spells of spells have interrupted his time in Old Trafford, including a 30 goals campaign in 2022-23, too many seasons have passed where he has just been.
There has been an equal piece of anonymity for every dazzling form. In all honesty for him, he did not choose to be put into the history of Premier League in the worst era of United.
Whether the time will be friendly for the inheritance of Rashford, has yet to be seen. He has won two FA cups, two EFL cups and a Europa League title. In 426 games, the attacker scored 138 goals and is the 13th Top Gointcorer of United of all time.
