Marcus Rashford - 19 -> 10 & Marcos Rojo - 5 -> 16

Marcos Rashford becomes Manchester United's new No. 10, while Marcos Rojo has quietly swapped no.5 for no.16 - the number worn on international duty for Argentina.

Hector Bellerin - 24 -> 2

Bellerin has worn No. 40, 39 and 24 for Arsenal so far. Ahead of the season, he became the club’s new No.2.

Mohamed Elneny - 35 -> 4 & Granit Xhaka - 29 -> 34

After wearing the unusual number 2 shirt (for a midfielder), Schneiderlin has moved to the No.18. Everton's new No. 2 is Holgate, a 21-year old central defender who previously wore the No. 30 kit.
