Fabien Barthez is on a collision course with Manchester United captain Roy Keane over who is given the number 16 shirt.
Keane was given that shirt when he arrived at Old Trafford in 1993 and has kept it ever since.
But new goalkeeper Barthez claims 16 is his lucky number, having worn it for France's triumphs in the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000. The superstitious Barthez insists on a kiss on his bald head from team-mate Laurent Blanc before internationals.
But he is unlikely to get his own way with Keane, whose only alternative is the number 14 shirt vacated by Jordi Cruyff.
