A photo of Jadon Sancho in the new Manchester United home shirt has emerged on the club's official website.
Sancho features in the list of first-team players, but does not have a number after Manuel Ugarte assumed the 25 shirt after signing from Paris Saint-Germain last year. Marcus Rashford is the only other player without a number after Matheus Cunha took the ten shirt.
Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Rashford and Tyrell Malacia also have photos in the new kit despite not training with the team during pre-season. Rashford's image appears in black and white to show the player is on loan.
Despite those photos, Antony, Malacia and Sancho do not feature on the list of players' names to fans can have on the back of this season's shirt. The trio are absent from the club's online shop despite the additions of Harry Amass and Toby Collyer alongside new signings Bryan Mbeumo, Diego Leon and Matheus Cunha to the now 24-player list since it went live.
Garnacho is one of those options, but Rashford is not after joining Barcelona. The latter is also no longer available online through Adidas, although Antony, Malacia and Sancho - with the number 25 - are.
Ugarte is notably not an option, nor is Leon. Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof are also absent from the initial list after leaving the club when their contracts ended at the end of June. Chido Obi, Diogo Dalot and Tyler Fredricson all feature, but with their old squad numbers.
Despite being out on loan, like Rashford, Dan Gore and Ethan Wheatley are options on their 28-player list. Bendito Mantato, Ethan Williams, Godwill Kukonki, Jack Fletcher, Reece Munro and Sekou Kone are other omissions despite their involvement with the first-team during pre-season this summer, unlike several other players who feature.
