"It is not my decision but if it were possible and the number was available, I would like - in honour of Marc-Vivien Foe - to play in the number 17 shirt for United," Djemba Djemba told the Manchester Evening News.
"That would be something I would love to do out of respect for him because Marc was like a big brother to me.
"I would speak to him often and he would say that if I ever got the chance to play for Manchester, then I should come"
Michael Stewart currently wears 17. Stewart is currently interesting Walsall according to their website.
