There was a lot of talk about what number the Portuguese will be wearing as Edinson Cavani had the number seven.

However, Cavani will now switch to the number 21, which he wears for Uruguay, to allow Ronaldo to take the famous number 7.

Statement:

Ronaldo inherits the number from Edinson Cavani, who wore the shirt last season and in our away win at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.

As our new signing is allocated no.7, El Matador will switch to no.21, the same number our prolific striker wears for the Uruguayan national team.

Ronaldo wore the famous number during his first stint with the Red Devils, where he won three Premier League titles, the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.
