It actually seemed as if Cristiano Ronaldo would not be able to play with his number 7 at Manchester United. But now it is so.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to wear his number 7 shirt after his return from Juventus Turin to Manchester United with the Red Devils. United officially announced this on Thursday evening.
Since the signing of Ronaldo, there had been confusion among the English, as Edinson Cavani was already registered with the number 7 for the Premier League season 2021/22. Probably only with an exemption could it be achieved that the 36-year-old Portuguese takes over the 7 from Cavani.
Cristiano Ronaldo had established the CR7 brand at United
The Uruguayan will now wear the 21 on his back, with which he also appears in the national team.
Ronaldo always wore the 7 in his first time at United from 2003 to 2009 and established the global brand CR7 during these years. Only in his first season at Real Madrid (2009/10) was the five-time world footballer not 7, but 9.
On Friday last week United announced the return of Ronaldo, the Portuguese international moved to Manchester after three years at Juventus for 15 million euros plus eight million euros in bonus payments. He could make his second debut for the English record champions on September 11th, when they meet Newcastle at Old Trafford.
