Manchester United's new signing Joshua Zirkzee has revealed that the shirt number he wants is currently taken by one of his new teammates at Old Trafford.
Last Sunday, United formally announced the signing of Zirkzee from Italian club Bologna in a deal worth a reported €42.5 million (R845 million).

The 23-year-old signed a five-year contract in Manchester, which also includes the option to extend for another year.
Yet to make his first appearance for the club in pre-season, Zirkzee has now revealed that the shirt number he would like is currently taken by fellow striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Asked what number he will be wearing for the Red Devils, the Dutchman told YouTube show Supergaande: "That depends a bit on Rasmus Hojlund.
"He's already there and he's also a striker. No. 9 is free, but yeah… He has 11, so I can imagine that he wants No. 9 now.
"In that case, I'll take 11. At Bologna I also had 11, so that doesn't really matter to me."

The No. 9 shirt recently became available following the departure of its previous owner, Anthony Martial, last month, while previous wearers of the No. 11 jersey include Mason Greenwood, Adnan Januzaj, and Ryan Giggs.
Speaking of how the move to United actually came about, Zirkzee explained: "I had a conversation in Wolfsburg. My father was there too, because he is there for everything.
"After that conversation, I immediately had a good feeling, then the choice was actually already made.
"The European Championship was number one anyway, United also thought that was important. That was where the focus had to be. So that was doable."
