Sky Sports News have just announced that Michael Carrick has passed his medical and will have a press conference on Wednesday.

He will wear squad number 16 on his United shirt.

I have to say. I don't like that kinda thing from SAF.. He did it when Beckham was sold and gave no. 7 to Ronaldo. And now Keano with the 16 going to Carrick.

It's as if Fergie likes to get in one last parting shot.

I don't think the squad number makes any difference in my opinion, it's how the new signing plays.
