I'm already in a shock, but what superb striker he was. If he could only push himself to revive some of that passion for attacking, United could be deadly again.
Him getting the number 7 just shows you how desperate this club is for marketing opportunities.
The number 7 is very much dead.

It just gets better and better 
I expected no. 20
Need someone with bollocks to wear the shirt.
I love it. Read the room Ed
I’ll be over the moon if he gets that many...
Are people just looking for anything to moan about?
Reckon he'll get 8-10 goals this season, which will be a decent return.
We're not exactly lacking options right now are we

Desperation. You have to meet his every demand
Who actually cares about a shirt number at this point with the state our squads in?
Well that's true. I'm moaning that Bruno isn't giving the half-time team talk.We're not exactly lacking options right now are we
To be fair that shirt is a death knell to anyone wearing it at the moment.
Yup. Like a cursed item in Divinity II.
Perhaps he is the type of striker that will thrive off the delivery from Telles....?
It's still a very expensive gamble though, and he was obviously no where near Ole wanted list.
Told Woody to make Cavani no.7, he actually did the absolute madman!
Great signing on a short term basis and a much better option than Ighalo. Not sure why anyone would complain about this.
don't care about the number to be honest. There's been so many underwhelming players who wore that shirt for us, not sure it's that big of a deal anymore.
Owen wore 7 when SAF was here, think people cry too much over the littlest things
Give him the -7 shirt
Aye, absolutely irrelevant.
Marketing, which is the bread and butter of Manchester United. Let's not forget we are an advertising platform first and foremost.
Possibly. I can't say for sure. The fact that I'm warming up to this signing is not based on logic but rather gut feeling, so I could be very wrong.
Give him the 69 shirt
This is just getting embarrassing. I know in the past its been Larsen and Zlatan but Cavani is past it. If he couldn't displace chopu-moting, who used to be at Stoke i might add, how the heck is he displacing any of the forwards here?
More money wasted, 10m to his agent, what on earth? I don't usually complain on here but this transfer is just trying to make us headline news again when in reality it isnt. One newspaper even said it's a marquee signing! Obviously a small marquee. Really fluffed off about this.

Not bothered if he gets the number 7 shirt he is Edinson Cavani after all, a least he’ll look good in it..
Hope we give him the captains armband too
He’s here for a good time not a long time.
Don’t forget the statue
I also hope he's getting Woody's house as bonus.
He also remains our best no.7 since SAF
Think we had 7, 15, 19 and 20 free out of lower numbers. He wore 7 before, so it makes sense. It is just a number after all, especially considering who wore it in the last 10 years.
All that said, if I see a piano anywhere near him I might kill someone.
Not sure how he will do in the Premier League, but what he will bring is some balls and attitude to the team. Watched him many times, he will not hide like a pussy during games. If we can create, he will bang them in.
Who cares what shirt number he wears? As long as he does his job he can wear 69 for all I care.
Why the fuss over number 7? The number has meant nothing for a decade now. Move on.
Cavani isn't match fit, so I don't see how we will see him on the pitch anytime soon, unless Ole plays him for 20 minutes initially and then gradually increases his match time with every game.
Also, does Cavani speak English? If not, this would cause a problem.
Should've got a 20 year old RW, who is rated as one of the best in the World.
Instead we are signing a 33 year old has-been (no disrespect to Cavani), who nobody else wanted.
And I'm not sure if fans even know who/what we are signing.
Cavani - is 33, who scored 4 league goals last season.
We got Telles - who is a LB for Porto (he is not joining from one of the top tier leagues). He won't be ousting Luke Shaw as 1st choice unless Shaw's form drops to levels not seen before.
DVDB - our best signing, by a big margin. No complaints on that one.
