Official: Cristiano Ronaldo to wear #7 jersey at Manchester



In an official statement, Manchester United have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the iconic no. 7 shirt after joining from Juventus this summer. The Portuguese, who secured a blockbuster return to Old Trafford during the recently-concluded summer transfer window, previously spent six memorable years at Old Trafford.Since inheriting the no. 7 shirt at Manchester United during his first stint, Cristiano Ronaldo has gone on to become one of the best players in the world. Despite the pressure of taking up the iconic shirt previously worn by the likes of David Beckham, Eric Cantona and George Best, the forward thrived at Manchester United.

Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo won several trophies, including three Premier League titles and the Champions League, during his first stint with the Red Devils. As he awaits a second debut at Manchester United now, Cristiano Ronaldo will be buoyed by the fact that he can sport his preferred no.7 at the back.

Edinson Cavani, who was the owner of the no. 7 shirt at Manchester United before the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, has now switched to no. 21.
