Manchester United Rumour Round-up: Hummels Move Edges Closer, Vidal Shirt Number Reserved, Napoli Declare Fellaini Interest

United reserve number seven shirt for incoming Vidal

Manchester United have reserved a squad number for Arturo Vidal, reports suggest, with the Chilean midfielder’s move to Old Trafford from Juventus seemingly edging ever closer.

The number reportedly set aside for Vidal is particularly significant, as it is the number seven shirt that has previously been worn by United icons such as David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.
