Earlier this week Lukaku moved to Manchester United for 75 million pounds. In Everton, he played under the tenth number, but in Manchester United decided to take the nine, but only with the permission of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"I always asked my mother, under what number to play. And usually it was a dozen, because my mother was born on the 10th day of the 10th month of the year - October, "Lukaku said..

"The attackers are playing under the ninth number. This is a great number, and I asked permission from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. I want to thank him that he allowed me to play under this number ".

It is worth noting that Ibrahimovic moved to Manchester United before the start of last season and took the "nine" from Anthony Martial, despite the fact that the Frenchman was promoting his brand Anthony Martial 9. Now Zlatan is formally in the status of a free agent, but will continue his recovery from a cruciate ligament injury in the MJ.

It is expected that another newcomer United, defender Victor Lindelef, will play under the 2nd number. After the departure of Memphis Depai and Wayne Rooney, vacancies remain numbers 7 and 10.
