Cavani paid tribute to the legend: The iconic seven will belong to Ronald in Manchester! – Sports

MANCHESTER – Portuguese gunner Cristiano Ronaldo will get back the jersey with the number seven, which he wore during his first engagement at Old Trafford, after returning to Manchester United. The 36-year-old footballer has been with the club for six seasons from 2003 to 2009, and this week he completed his transfer from Juventus by signing a two-year contract.

Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, who started with seven at last year and also played Sunday’s match with Wolverhampton (1: 0), will take twenty-one instead. The same number belongs to him in the representation.

“I wasn’t sure if it would be possible for me to have a seven again, so I’d like to thank Edi very much for this incredible gesture,” bequeathed the five-time Golden Ball winner to a future teammate on twitter United. In the past, club legends such as George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham wore the seven on the United jersey.

Ronaldo, who became the best national team scorer with a score of 111 goals after Wednesday’s World Cup qualifier match with Ireland (2: 1), could have his renewed premiere in the United jersey in the first round of the Premier League after the current national team break. Manchester will host Newcastle on September 11.
