It hasn’t been all negative on the Manchester United summer preseason exhibition tour. While the consistently poor results and incessantly complaining Jose Mourinho dominate the headlines, the mood in the dressing room reportedly remains high, and the boys are having some fun in the United States.
Here’s an example of some players showing off how they’re currently in high spirits- reserve goalkeeper Joel Pereira took to social media and posted a photo of summer transfer window addition Diogo Dalot flexing his muscles in a red United home kit with his name and #20 on it. Have a look:

Pereira essentially leaked the squad number of the Portugese defender, as United are yet to officially announce shirt numbers for the upcoming season. The lone exception is new addition Fred, who will be #17. Dalot is still recovering from injury and won’t be ready to play until September.
The #20 had belonged to second string goalkeeper Sergio Romero, but he’s been spotted with the #22 on his training kit this preseason. The nightmarish preseason exhibition tour of the United States ends tonight with a friendly against Real Madrid in Miami, Florida.
