Manchester United youngster James Wilson has revealed that manager Louis van Gaal recently changed his shirt number because the previous didn't suit his position as a striker.
The 18-year-old, who made a substitute appearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford, has switched from 47 to 49.
"As I'm a striker, the gaffer wanted me to have a nine in my number, and 49 was the closest," Wilson told MUTV.
Wilson, who made his first-team debut last season, has featured three times so far this season.
