Ronaldo will be the best no.7 since Ronaldo.
There's a tweet a few posts back. Seen several journo's post similar on Twitter.Where did you read it then?
I think most people want Jones sold let alone want him to keep the number. However Varane doesn't have a brand built around the 4 and hasn't previously played for United in that shirt so it's not the same comparison. Jones has also had that shirt for a decade compared to Cavani having the 7 for a year.Lord the double standard on here is ridiculous, I remember Varane asking for no.4 but Jones refused, we had some on here who said "it was just a fecking shirt number" Now it's clear to see it was because Jones is English, If i were Cavani I'll refuse solly because Phil Fecking Injured Jones Refused to Give Varane that number 4 shirt, that he's been wearing for over a decade without nothing to show for but killing Steve Bruce's legacy.
So does Cavani...for nowhttps://www.premierleague.com/players/2522/Cristiano-Ronaldo/stats

He has #7 on the official premier league site.
Sure but Cavani is also 7 on the official sitehttps://www.premierleague.com/players/2522/Cristiano-Ronaldo/stats

Edit: But so does Cavani

Perhaps he is on the cusp of launching PJ4 branded line of Pajamas.

Getting paid £30 million so we can get a shirt number changed isn't bad business. Especially when that shirt is 7 on Ronaldo's back.We legit sold Dan James so that Cavani can switch to 21 so Ronaldo can take 7
Nobody at the club would ever admit to it, and James did need to be moved, but the whole number 7 situation definitely factored into him being sold.
I can’t imagine there would any real fans not going to get Ronaldo 7 jersey this summer. It’s going to be fecking huge.I imagine United will do whatever it takes to get him the no7 shirt. Setting aside the nostalgia value the commercial value has to be huge as well.
Even 3 years after he left?I can’t imagine there would any Real fans not going to get Ronaldo 7 jersey this summer. It’s going to be fecking huge.
I did not put a capital letter thereEven 3 years after he left?
Pretty sure the biggest sports brand (related to an individual) in the world is Jordan shoes, regardless of social media followers.You need to understand CR7 is by far biggest ever sports brand in the world with over 335m followers in social media. It’s beyond iconic.
Basketball is not as big outside America as football is worldwide.Pretty sure the biggest sports brand (related to an individual) in the world is Jordan shoes, regardless of social media followers.
Are you accusing me of editing your posts?I did not put a capital letter there
Jordan shoes as commercial brand eclipses whatever any athlete world brings in. Even if people couldn't care about basketball, Jordan brand shoes as just fashion items is massive. They are an integral piece of a brand worth over 250 billion USD. There is no football player related brand that even compares. Part of it is, you aren't wearing cleats as a fashion statement in public. We are talking about a brand that inspires such nostalgia and prestige that limited edition versions of them can go into the 20k to 50k range in auction (and this isn't game worn stuff).Basketball is not as big outside America as football is worldwide.
A lot of people disagreed when I said it few days back(when City were going for him, so attitudes were already against him tbf), but Ronaldo and Messi are bigger brands and figures than any football club, including United. Even the average joe/jill who knows nothing about football and is from a non-footballing country for example, and has never heard of Manchester knows who Ronaldo is.
I feel the issue here is if Cavani offered it. And, I don’t think the jersey thing with Martial was as big as it being taken but then followed by Mourinho having absolutely no faith in him. Very different on how to handle young players with shaky confidence. In NA sport it’s common for a highly paid vet taking a number to give the guy a high end watch (from a Rolex to a Patek or Audemars) for a desired number.People put too much weight on shirt numbers. Personally I think if Cavani is happy to give up the number then it's all good, and fair play to him, as long as he was asked and not told.
I don't give a toss what number Ronaldo wears .... he's back at Man Utd-feckin-Nited!! That's the main thing and it's good enough for me, I'm happy he's back and I'm not gonna bitch about a bloody shirt number. I just wanna see him bang 'em in.
Remember the whole AM9 / AM11 thing? That was kind of a diss to Martial and it bugged me, regardless of Ibra's legend status. It might be an unpopular opinion but oh well. I don't agree with pissing one player off to make another happy.

Varane is no Phil Jones though.Lord the double standard on here is ridiculous, I remember Varane asking for no.4 but Jones refused, we had some on here who said "it was just a fecking shirt number" Now it's clear to see it was because Jones is English, If i were Cavani I'll refuse solly because Phil Fecking Injured Jones Refused to Give Varane that number 4 shirt, that he's been wearing for over a decade without nothing to show for but killing Steve Bruce's legacy.
When they say attack the post, not the poster - this is the post they're talking about.Lord the double standard on here is ridiculous, I remember Varane asking for no.4 but Jones refused, we had some on here who said "it was just a fecking shirt number" Now it's clear to see it was because Jones is English, If i were Cavani I'll refuse solly because Phil Fecking Injured Jones Refused to Give Varane that number 4 shirt, that he's been wearing for over a decade without nothing to show for but killing Steve Bruce's legacy.
Yeah, mutually amicable... "All signed, now Cristiano gets 7 and you can go off play your qualifiers. We'll resign you in December".Normally, but if the agreement is mutually amicable it shouldn't be a problem. Other than some hassle Cavani would have nothing to lose (oh, his shirt number). Lawyers could just write up things even without him atttending .
Why not disneyland. They are the best theme park in the business at least.Yeah, mutually amicable... "All signed, now Cristiano gets 7 and you can go off play your qualifiers. We'll resign you in December".
Joking aside, I'm sure Cavani has zero issue, so long as it was handled respectfully and not how the majority of posters on here do.
A massive sports organisation fully mobilised to get a shirt number and not, you know, a midfielder?
Disneyland.
There’s no way we offered Cavani to Juve. That would leave us light on numbers and Cavani is going to have a massive part to play.Rumours spreading that we offered Cavani to Barca,
I am happy to see Cristiano but I feel very sad to see Cavani go just because we signed Ronaldo who was not even in our plans.
Cavani lifted millions of UTD spirits during the most difficult pandemic time last year and he deserves to be here on merit.
Cavani offered to BarcaThere’s no way we offered Cavani to Juve. That would leave us light on numbers and Cavani is going to have a massive part to play.
Not sure why I said Juve then. There were links, I’ve seen them but they came from a story that Cavani was unhappy for various reasons and talked to Barca to engineer a move which has since been denied by all parties.Cavani offered to Barca, google it.
