Man Utd Women: Confirmed shirt numbers for 2024/25 season
- Marc Skinner is to lead the Red Devils into their third campaign
- New signing Melvine Malard has been assigned number 9
- There are still a handful of shirt numbers yet to be announced
Manchester United will feel like they have a point to prove during the 2024/25 campaign, having finished a disappointing fifth last season.
The club have also been criticised in recent months for their treatment of the women's team, after turfing them out of their training facilities to make room for the men's while refurbishments are carried out.
Alongside this, United have also been subject to a mass exodus of instrumental players this summer, including Mary Earps, Katie Zelem and Lucia Garcia.
However, it doesn't seem to have put players off completely. In among the drama, United have managed to get a few deals over the line and brought in Melvine Malard, Dominique Janssen and Elisabeth Terland.
Here are the club's confirmed shirt numbers for the 2024/25 campaign.

Can WSL players change squad numbers?
In the modern game and due to so many players being flexible in their positioning, squad numbers don't have as much meaning as they used to.
Players tend to have the option to choose any number they wish, but certain clubs may enforce specific numbering rules.
