Manchester United fans will be less than enthused to be told that the reason English cricket star Phil Salt's shirt number is a reminder of the 6-1 defeat to their city rivals

Manchester United fans are likely to hate the reason behind cricket star Phil Salt's shirt number that he will be rocking in England's match vs Oman.

Speaking to the official City website about his England shirt number back in 2022, Salt said: "Obviously, I don't need to explain to any city fans why six one is so important to me but you know, it sort of annoys me a bit because I've had that number since I made my debut for England. Due to the game being an away fixture for City, the real scoreline would read 1-6 for the club – so as Salt explained, he swapped his number to 16 when playing for Lancashire in order to commemorate this historic win.
