MANCHESTER UNITED fans were left baffled as they spotted Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s “new shirt number” against Nottingham Forest.
The right-back, 25, played the full game as the Red Devils won 2-0 and 5-0 on aggregate to seal a place in the Carabao Cup Final.
United went into the clash with a 3-0 advantage, but Erik Ten Hag opted to largely stick with his tried and trusted with just David de Gea and Marcus Rashford rested and named on the bench.
With many believing that the tie was done and dusted, there was very little to talk about during the opening period.
However, eagle-eyed viewers soon spotted something very different about Wan-Bissaka.
The United No.29 appeared to be wearing the No.2 jersey – which is occupied by substitute Victor Lindelof.

One fan tweeted: “Wan-Bissaka is United’s no. 2 now wow!”
While another wrote: “Wan-Bissaka… that’s not your number mate.”
The ace had, in fact, not accidentally picked up the wrong shirt, but instead just had the nine ripped off early on in the opening period.
And fortunately for him he was able to get a new jersey at the break to play the match out in his usual double digit shirt.

Meanwhile, before the game, Wan-Bissaka outlined his desire to get his hands on the Carabao Cup.
He told the club’s matchday programme: “I think everyone’s hungry to bring success back to the club and that’s the aim in these cup runs.
“It would be a great achievement [to reach Wembley]. A step closer to the trophy.
“That’s what we’re all working towards, and we know it could be an important moment for this team if we do get there.”
