Manchester United's new star refuses to change his number and still wears No. 37 to prepare for the game! The back four is feared to be out of injury, and Ten Hag is in a shortage of people again

Previously, Manchester United's 19-year-old star Kobe · Menor was thought by fans to change his back number because he wore an unnumbered jersey in training. The Academy talent wore the number 37 shirt last season, while the number 3, 4, 13, 19 and 26 shirts currently have no owner. However, in preparation for the Community Shield against Manchester City, Meno dispelled speculation by continuing to wear the same number 37 training kit as last season, indicating that he would not change his shirt number.

In fact, it was a special occasion for Meno to wear the shirt without a number, when Manchester United's international players were testing their fitness indoors, and many United players wore clothing without small numbers. Among them was the Argentina international Garnacho, who met and hugged Meno at the time, and the "new Ronaldo" shirt did not have his number 17 on it.

In addition, Manchester United right-back Diogu · Darlow are next to new signing Zirkze, who also does not have the number 20 he should have on his sleeveless training kit. This does not mean that the Portugal international will change the shirt number, and he wore a shirt with the word 20 in the subsequent training.

In Manchester United's latest training photos, Meno continues to wear the number 37 shirt, while the €42.5 million centre-forward Zirkze behind him wears the number 11, and the club officially announced the Netherlands' shirt number this week.

United may have considered changing Maynor's shirt number, but the low-key England international chose not to do so because he is not a fan of numbers. Previously, when asked why he chose the number 37 shirt, Meno smiled: "Choice? I had no choice at all! The club gave me whatever number it was."

The back number of players is not something that United boss Ten Hag needs to pay attention to, the number of defenders is! Four of the Reds' defenders were not involved in training ahead of Saturday's Community Shield clash with Manchester City, including new signing Yoro, who had to miss three months after surgery to fracture his fifth metatarsal in his left foot.

In addition to the 18-year-old France centre-back, who is worth 62 million euros, Manchester United's England international Harry Maguire, Sweden captain Victor Lindelof and right-back "Spider-Man" Wan-Bissaka did not appear on the training ground. Harry Maguire missed the final warm-up game against Liverpool through injury, while Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were injured in that game.

Ten Hag confirmed they may not be available at Wembley: "Harry [Maguire] missed the warm-up game and that was a precautionary measure, but there are still doubts about his participation in Saturday's game. We're training and we'll have to see if he's going to recover and if he's good enough to compete. Victor [Lindelof] played but he has problems and, like Aaron [Aaron Wan-Bissaka], we have to see how they do tomorrow."

The United boss has also confirmed that the club will assess the suitability of left wing-back Luke · Shaw, who returned to the European Championship and therefore only returned last week and did not participate in the club's summer training camp. If there is any surprise to "Carlos in England", it will mean that United only have three fully healthy first-team defenders, · Martinez, Evans and Diogu · Darlow.

In addition to Yoro, there are two other players who are also determined to be injured: left-back Malacia and centre-forward Hojlund. Once the above assumptions are true, Ten Hag will only be able to use 17-year-old Academy defender Harry · Armas as a wing-back.

Ten Hag said: 'It varies from person to person and every player has a different background. We had them all in different training programs, including in pre-season and during those weeks in United States, but they made different progress. So we'll evaluate them one by one and decide if they're going to start, or coming off the bench, or not playing."

Ten Hag insists United can still compete with Manchester City: "The game is a fight for another trophy, so we will come up with a team that is competitive to lift the trophy. But it's also a warm-up game after all, we don't take any big risks, and the coach will assess whether the players start, whether they are on the bench or whether they don't play."
