Ole showing his vicious streak then, twisting Dan James' arm until he agreed to leave so Cavani could take his shirt number and CR could get 7 back!
Di Maria doesn't have the right mentality to play here, nothing to do with Van Gaal.Van Gaal did as much damage to the club as Jose IMO
I'm talking more generally. He made awful signings and he stifled flairDi Maria doesn't have the right mentality to play here, nothing to do with Van Gaal.
About £40Anybody knows whats the difference between the Home Shirt and the Authentic Home Shirt in the United Store? Price difference is around 40 pounds.
And yet I still like the guy…..I'm talking more generally. He made awful signings and he stifled flair
Not sure never had an authentic but it looks to have a different cut to it and it’s more breathable for players so different material apparently.Anybody knows whats the difference between the Home Shirt and the Authentic Home Shirt in the United Store? Price difference is around 40 pounds.
The cheaper one is a replica for the fansAnybody knows whats the difference between the Home Shirt and the Authentic Home Shirt in the United Store? Price difference is around 40 pounds.
Yeah feck the authentic it’s only for flash bastards..The cheaper one is a replica for the fans
Thanks! I'll invest the extra 40 then. It's a good occasion.The cheaper one is a replica for the fans
Shaw had #3 and gave it back didn't he?So, most of the iconic numbers are taken then?
Ronaldo #7
Martial #9
Rashford #10
Greenwood #11
Only missing ones are Bruno getting the #8 from Mata and Varane getting #4 from Phil Jones. Shaw should also bribe Bailly for #3.
He did, yeah. Maybe AWB can make it his ownShaw had #3 and gave it back didn't he?

That’s what I’m saying. Fandom shouldn’t be measured by one’s consumerism.Don’t give the Glazers your money.
Don’t let your love of Utd be reduced to that.
Buy a score draw classic or something.
Correct, he wore #3 in his first season at United. He wore #23 at Southampton but Cleverley was had #23 when Shaw first arrived at Old Trafford.Shaw had #3 and gave it back didn't he?
Cavani scored 17 goals wearing it in 20/21 and Ronaldo scored 24 last season. Hardly bad numbers.The curse on the number 7 shirt is so strong that even Ronaldo himself turns out to be a disaster.
I'd prefer to keep it vacant for a few years now and only give it to a player who's earned it with a Player of the Year season or two for us under his belt at least. Not given right away to some big new signing, or Sancho / Garnacho when they don't deserve it yet.
the number 7 isn’t just about goals really, it’s much More than that.Cavani scored 17 goals wearing it in 20/21 and Ronaldo scored 24 last season. Hardly bad numbers.
Curse doesn’t exist anymore, we just need to give the shirt to someone who isn’t on the precipice of retirementThe curse on the number 7 shirt is so strong that even Ronaldo himself turns out to be a disaster.

Yep, I agree with that. Not necessarily POTS, but it should be left vacant for a while until somebody earns it. Which nobody has done yet. I thought Sancho would, but so far that really hasn't been the case.The curse on the number 7 shirt is so strong that even Ronaldo himself turns out to be a disaster.

yeah, xg.the number 7 isn’t just about goals really, it’s much More than that.
I was literally just about to post the same!The first post in the thread
My OP in 2020.. Jesus!Becoming a bit of a "poisoned chalice" isn't it?
Surely the next time we assign it, we have to get it correct. Putting it on established stars hasn't worked.
I'd love to see us give it to Mason Greenwood personally. Youth product too. Beckham and Ronaldo got it when still wet behind the ears, and it worked okay.
It’s weird how this thread hasn’t archived properly for normal users. Using my handy Scout tools I can see a few earlier pages. The original OP was this…My OP in 2020.. Jesus!
“Grinner - 14th May 1938” said:Tommy Bamford looks to be moving to Wrexham in the summer so we’ll need a new number 7. I’ve heard great things about an Austrian fella who works on the right wing. Needs to do something about his shit moustache though, and his goal celebration could do with some work. One handed salute? At least do the fecking Charleston or something as well.
This is from the very first post on this thread and still very much rings trueBecoming a bit of a "poisoned chalice" isn't it?

Give it Garnacho til the end of the seasonAged like fine wine...
I think we should take the majesty out of the number and give it to a player who performs well over a prolonged period. I don't think that player is currently in the squad.
There are quite a few threads on the forum that make for absolutely incredible reading in hindsight. The covid thread being the best example. Dramatic irony at its finest.The first post in the thread
Too soon, not really deserved yet. I'd rather have him live up to his potential and be told the jersey is his in 3 years, minimum. Make it a goal for him.Give it Garnacho til the end of the season
