Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo breathes a sigh of relief! The superstar can now appear with his beloved number 7 at Manchester United.
A last minute transfer makes it possible! The Red Devils give winger Daniel James for almost 30 million euros to Leeds United, so the numbers can be changed again at Manchester.
Striker Edinson Cavani snaps his favorite number from James. The Uru now also kicks at United – as in the national team – as a 21-man. Lo and behold, the way is clear for CR7!
Ronaldo is now getting his beloved jersey number. Cavani would have voluntarily given the 36-year-old number 7, but a rule of the Premier League did not allow that.
The change from James brought some movement back into the squad and gave the opportunity to number castling.
