On the club homepage, MU confirmed that rookie defender Diego Leon will wear the number 30 in the 2025/2026 season.
The Paraguayan player attracted attention from the fans after completing the £ 3.2 million transfer from the Cerro Porteno club.
Although newly joined, this player quickly made a strong impression on coach Ruben Amorim and his teammates from the first day of appearing in the center of Carrington.
The excellent performance in the training sessions helped Diego Leon were on the list of MU teams attending the friendly match against Leeds today, July 19. Before attending MU vs Leeds, Leon knew he would receive the number of 30 shirts at the new club.
In the past, No. 30 at Old Trafford Stadium has previously belonged to the notable names such as Wes Brown, John O'Shea and Matteo Darmian. This is a new figure for the 2007 toilet because he used to wear the number 37 shirt at the old club and the number 4 shirt at the U20 Paraguay.
Good news for Leon is that MU and coach Amorim have no plans for him to go to another club on loan. In addition, Leon is expected to play for the first team immediately instead of playing for the young route. Therefore, Leon will have to try to impress well.
The challenge ahead is huge when the left -back position is in fierce competition from Patrick Dorgu, Luke Shaw. In the opposite direction, young talent Harry Amass was eliminated from the MU squad in a friendly match against Leeds in Sweden and will not be able to go to the United States. The decision made is that Harry Amass will be lent to play more in the next season.
