LONDON - Manchester United's new midfielder Donny van de Beek has said he will wear the No 34 on his jersey as a tribute to former Ajax Amsterdam teammate Abdelhak Nouri, who suffered brain damage after a heart attack in 2017.
Despite being revived on the pitch and rushed to a hospital, Nouri suffered serious and permanent brain damage. "He had a heart attack ... I'm really close with his family and his brother is one of my best friends and I talk a lot with them. So I decided to take his old number on my shirt and I want to get good memories with this number."
