Juan Mata has been decided to take up the No 8 shirt at Manchester United, despite speculation that he would get the iconic No 7 jersey.
The club's record signing was presented at a news conference today after completing a £37.1 million move from Chelsea this weekend.
Meanwhile, reports today suggest that Wayne Rooney will be made captain if he signs a new deal.
Man United are expected to offer the England striker a £300,000 per week week to stay.
The Guardian also reported that the club shared details of their future transfer plans with the forward who has pushed to leave the club on two previous occasions.
