Additionally, United shared additional images of Amrabat signing a contract, posing in the new United jersey, and meeting coach Erik ten Hag for the first time.

Amrabat was the most recent cadet to enlist, and Man Utd spent a long time to complete the process since they wanted to carefully assess this player’s physical condition.

“Sofyan Amrabat’s shirt number can now be confirmed, following the completion of his loan deal from Fiorentina,” the Manchester United homepage stated.

Amrabat will wear shirt number 4 at Old Trafford, Man Utd said once everything was done.

Since Phil Jones was the last person to wear this shirt number, this is the unlucky number 4 at MU. After his contract expired in the summer of 2023, the 31-year-old center back abruptly left Old Trafford, bringing to an end 12 illustrious years.

Jones suffered from injuries frequently while he was a player for MU, eventually “disappearing” from the team. Owen Hargreaves also wore the number 4 shirt in addition to Jones. Despite being a gifted midfielder, Hargreaves’ career was wrecked by injuries.

Even though Amrabat only played at MU on loan for one season, this has caused many people to wonder what will become of him. Another well-known person who wore shirt number 4 at MU from 2001 to 2003 was Juan Sebastian Veron. By 2004, Gabriel Heinze was the owner of this particular jersey.

After the Premier League started announcing shirt numbers in the 1993/94 season, legendary captain Steve Bruce was the first to don MU’s number 4 jersey. David May, who had previously worn shirt number 12, succeeded Bruce. May played at MU for five seasons, including the 1998–1999 campaign, when the Red Devils won the illustrious “treble.”

Amrabat wore this renowned jersey number for Morocco during the 2022 World Cup.

Amrabat’s injury prevented him from participating in MU’s most recent 1-3 Premier League loss to Arsenal, according to coach Erik ten Hag. During this break for the national team, Amrabat will have plenty of time to relax before making his Red Devils debut the following weekend.
