Also Dan James is off the list now.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
If Cavani accepts the 21, I think that will be resolved pretty quickly. It has already happened to Tottenham and if I remember correctly, they allowed Arnautovic to change numbers even after he played with another one back in 2017.
He doesn’t have a choice. They’ll be classy about it but at the end of the day he can give it up or have it taken away. 100% certain that Mendes brought up #7 during the talks.
Never knew of such a recent example, but you are correct. Should be no problem for the Premier League to certify the change.

Just hope Cavani is happy to change to #21 (which I imagine he is) and that United offer to exchange any Cavani #7 shirts.
I really want United to announce that Cavani is going to take the #21 shirt and, in his place as the new #7, is.... Phil Jones.
“100% certain”?
No-one can be certain of a guarantee on anything when it’s out of their hands.
Read the post again.
I did, you just wrote “he doesn’t have a choice”.
Well no, nor does Ronaldo, Mendes or anyone at United.
They wouldn't be doing that kind of tease with the video of the back of the shirt if they didn't know he'd be getting the no. 7 - could you imagine the PR blowback if they did all of that and he ended up with the no. 28 or similar!
You quoted «100%» which alluded to Mendes adressing the topic during the talks - which would be extremely odd if it did not happen.
As long as PL gives the green light then Cavani won’t have a choice, the number issue is not going to go south because of Cavani hogging the number. Which was, clearly, my point.
Jesus Christ - Ronaldo is obviously 100% GUARANTEED to be No.7. Not even a debate!
Not if the Premier League say no.
PL allowed it for Van der Vaart and Arnautovic. Pretty sure they will not mind it for Christiano fecking Ronaldo.
They said yes to Marko Arnautovic. Would be pretty audacious of them to reject Ronaldo.
You think the Premier League is going to limit any marketing potential for their no.1 asset?
Who knows, I'm not fussed either way.
Exactly, this is the Premier League's decision and they're as interested to milk all the marketing as United are, not the FA, if it was up to them, they'll try their hardest to screw us over.
CR7
He gets it!!!! Oh yeah 
Defo getting one of those..
So finally confirmed Ronnie is wearing number 7 & Cavani switches to number 21
Cavani 21
Dreams can't be buyCavani wears 21 for Uruguay. Ideal scenario is we feck Dan James off, give Cavani his number (21 is coming
James must feel so dirty and used now..
Getting all 3 kits next monday (day off) with Ronaldo 7! feck it
Well, Daniel James solved us the shirt issue with his departure.
You need that special print though does the sports shops do it or just online?
I'll go to the adidas store in Manchester they do all the league or cup prints and even the sleeve badges (CL and FA Cup)
Sancho thought he only had to wait 12 months for it.
Told you guys
Sweet.
/thread
Ofcourse. Feck rules. CR7 does what he wants.
Van Gaal did as much damage to the club as Jose IMO
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!
Why you polluting the thread with rat boy..
Di Maria doesn't have the right mentality to play here, nothing to do with Van Gaal.
