Manchester United can confirm that Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the iconic no.7 shirt after returning to Old Trafford.
Man Utd:
The Portuguese superstar famously wore the legendary shirt number during his first spell at United and we can now confirm that Ronaldo will have it on his back once again.
In his first six seasons at the club, between 2003 and 2009, Ronaldo made 292 appearances and scored 118 goals, winning nine trophies including three Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League.
As we all know, the no. 7 is a special number in the history of United.
It has previously been worn by club icons like George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham. Now, it returns to the man who succeeded Beckham in it, Ronaldo.
Ronaldo inherits the number from Edinson Cavani, who wore the shirt last season and in our away win at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.
As our new signing is allocated no.7, El Matador will switch to no.21, the same number our prolific striker wears for the Uruguayan national team.
Unitedโs first fixture after the international break, in which Ronaldo could make his return to Old Trafford, is at home to Newcastle United on Saturday 11 September.
We are all excited to see our returning no. 7 in action at the Theatre of Dreams once again.

Maybe because he doesnโt care about sales or money. He cares about being a footballer and not some arrogant person stealing peopleโs kit numbers

I donโt know why Messi fans donโt understand simple logic Lm10 isnโt a brand but cr7 is a brand โฆ so he has to continue using that number.. simple

This team will suffer in the hands of an attacking team like City, Bayern, PSG, Liverpool. The back line is too exposed. Pogba and Bruno can't do the dirty work in midfield.

What a stupid comment from apparently a stupid person, Neymar held the num 10 shirt at psg, and heโs had it for three years. And he offered it to Messi who refused to take it cos he RESPECTS his teammates. And yet a stupid person like u calls him names for that

This is the difference between the real GOAT and a good goal scorer. one always thinks about his teammates and one always thinks about himself. Wherever Messi goes, he creats,assist for his teammates and his teammate's goal tally increases. then there is one players who always finds a way for tap in and stoles teammate's goals. true GOAT is only one not two.

Guess you started watching football last night, where has Messi gone to before? Senseless being
