Do you know why Vanderbilt chose the No.34 jersey when he joined Manchester United?

I believe many friends in life like watching football matches. Every time the World Cup comes, many people can't sleep at night and watch it in front of the TV. At this time, many friends who know more about the World Cup players will know that a Manchester United player chose the No.34 jersey when he joined the team. Do you know who he is?

Yes, he is Vanderbilt. Before Manchester United officially announced that Dutch youngster Vanderbilt had joined the team, it was announced that he would wear the No.34 jersey. At this time, many friends are curious. Why did he choose No.34 jersey? In fact, Vanderbilt chose No.34 jersey because Vanderbilt was born in a small village in the Netherlands and his family raised chickens for a living. From small villages to Amsterdam metropolis, people looked at him with different eyes, including his youth team teammates. Fortunately, he met Abdullah Haknuri in the youth team. Nuri wears No.34 and Vanderbeck wears No.30. They often encourage each other and are inseparable, from Ajax youth team to Dutch youth team and then to Ajax first team. Many Ajax activities will arrange for them to participate together, so they will play games together and grow together.

However, on July 8, 20 17, Nuri suddenly fell into a coma in the warm-up match between Ajax and Werder Bremen without confrontation. After 20 minutes of ambulance treatment at the scene, the situation is still not optimistic. Subsequently, a helicopter was sent to take Nuri to the hospital for emergency treatment. Ajax officially confirmed that Nuri fell into a coma due to heart problems and his career suddenly ended due to long-term hypoxia in his brain. Nuri was in a coma for nearly three years, and Ajax teammates were hit hard, especially Vanderbeck. This heavy experience forced him to grow up faster. After moving to Manchester United, Vanderbeck resolutely chose No.34 to pay tribute to his former teammate Nuri in Ajax.

In addition to Van der Beck, several former teammates who moved from Ajax to the new team also chose to wear the No.34 jersey to commemorate Nuri, such as Kluiwitt of Rome in Serie A, Younis of Naples and Fattmann of Brighton in the Premier League. This is really a group of affectionate and righteous brothers, wearing your numbers and interpreting your dreams in your name.
