Ronnie's days are numbered and I think it would be a great thing if the shirt was passed on to a brilliant young 18yo that has come from the academy.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Bit soon let's not pile too much on him.
Either him or Donny for sure
No. Let that number stay in the locker for a few years.
Please, this cannot be allowed here.
For gods sake he's not even made 10 appearances. I know this player has a couple of assists here, but this is not right. I can't be the only one that thinks this?

Hear me out on this one… our new no.7 — Lisandro Martinez. Who says no?
Donny for me. He does nothing wrong.
Hold up. Way too soon for any of this. Let's see how he goes for the rest of the season first.
Maybe he'll deserve it one day, but now he needs to concentrate on getting even better.

I'll go against - the grain.
Yes. Garnacho has IT. He's going to be a superstar, we just need to make sure it's at United.

Yes in 3 years time potentially.
He fits the mould better than Sancho

Hope Ronaldo stays another season and then hands it over to Nacho as he picks up the CL trophy 
As long as people are patient with him, sure. I don’t think you should have to be the finished article to have that number, if anything it might help to have someone that we don’t expect too much of right away to have it.
Sancho really has to step up if he wants to play on the left
Some of you never learn. Be patient and see what happens instead of jumping the gun and labeling academy players as future superstars
Only if he signs a long term contract.
He looks a different level.

What could possibly go wrong …
Yep, hard to look beyond Donny. Another stunning performance from D7.
Let’s not cream ourselves over a 15 minute cameo.
(He is the real deal)

I remember us doing the same thing with Januzaj and look how that turned out, let’s just allow Garnacho to get through this season and see how he progresses for next season.
One thing is for sure though and that’s that Sancho has basically no hope of playing on the left with the form Rashford and Garnacho are in, if I was Sancho I’d start preparing myself for fighting with Antony for the right sided role.

best player in football history, lets not go all Januzaj on him.
Always take a season or two to make any real judgement.

Let’s not put him under too much pressure, definitely deserves it and is our future #7. Some players can’t handle it so I think we should wait a few years to let him settle into the team playing week in week out before giving him he’s hero’s shirt. Wow just writing that last bit gave me goosebumps.
When Ronnie departs, give him the shirt.
Third on the list now.
Please god not this again
4th actually if we get a striker. Martial, Rashford and Garnacho.
A bit early for that.
If he can maintain that form for 18 months then certainly
If he can maintain that form for 18 months then certainly
we’ll be writing him off before the end of the season 
He has the attitude, let's see if he can perform week in week out.
"nothing special" according to some on here.
Leave the 7 shirt vacant for a full season after Ronaldo goes and then reassess - but if Garnacho does well in that time then he should be first choice as things stand.
Give him the shirt now and retire the 49 in his honour
Ronnie had not even played a game for us before he had it and he was the same age.
Playing for Utd automatically comes with great expectation and this kid looks like he is up for the challenge.
Looks to be a quality player, no doubting that... but we've seen that before with Januzaj. Let's not make the same mistake again. Let the kid grow at his own pace without unnecessary burdens. The number 7 shirt at United is a weight and it doesnt need to be placed on the shoulders of a kid right now. Not to say it's not for him in the future, though.
Give him the number 7 shirt. If he can handle it, he will be worldclass. If not, he’s too weak. That’s how they do it in the good ol’ days. Not now though. Pampered generation.
with Martial back Sancho is third in the pecking order behind Rashford and Garnacho
he should be second choice on the right though, at least.. as no one else can play there bar Antony
Another left sided forward. Does Rashford have competition?
It was'nt a weight for Ronnie and who is to say this kid does not have the mentality to deal with it
The #7 was never supposed to be a burden but it is supposed to be given to exciting talent at our club and I think maybe because of the recent event of it being given to Valencia at the same time of defenders working out that all they had to do was show him the inside to negate him seems to have added to the myth.
Actually my post was sarcastic, he does nothing (wrong or right)
I thought this place was all about being a reactionary muppet?
I was thinking 11 actually
