In 1993, The FA switched to persistent squad numbers, abandoning the mandatory use of 1-11 for the starting line-up. Name the players assigned squad number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 for Manchester United from the 1993/94 Premier League season onwards. See Manchester United Iconic Shirt Numbers #1 for squad numbers 1, 7, 9, 10 & 11.
Great quiz! I'd just add that Blanc wore #5 in his second (and final) season at United. It was a funny shirt number merry-go-round:
2001-02 - Johnsen wore #5. Stam was #6 but was sold and replaced by Blanc who took on the number.
2002-03 - Johnsen left and Blanc took on #5, whilst new signing Ferdinand was given #6.
2003-04 - Blanc retired and Ferdinand became #5 - although it didn't prove particularly lucky for him to begin with, seeing as he ended up with an eight-month ban for missing a drugs test 😂
