Cavani plays 21 for Uruguay, so he'll be happy enough. Probably why we had to sell James.
Erm.. The Number 7 shirt..

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.
I'm talking more generally. He made awful signings and he stifled flair
Anybody knows whats the difference between the Home Shirt and the Authentic Home Shirt in the United Store? Price difference is around 40 pounds.
About £40
And yet I still like the guy…..
Not sure never had an authentic but it looks to have a different cut to it and it’s more breathable for players so different material apparently.
The cheaper one is a replica for the fans
So, most of the iconic numbers are taken then?
Ronaldo #7
Martial #9
Rashford #10
Greenwood #11
Only missing ones are Bruno getting the #8 from Mata and Varane getting #4 from Phil Jones. Shaw should also bribe Bailly for #3.

Yeah feck the authentic it’s only for flash bastards..
Thanks! I'll invest the extra 40 then. It's a good occasion.
Shaw had #3 and gave it back didn't he?
He did, yeah. Maybe AWB can make it his own
Don’t give the Glazers your money.
Don’t let your love of Utd be reduced to that.
Buy a score draw classic or something.
Bruno has 18, which is pretty damn iconic IMO
That’s what I’m saying. Fandom shouldn’t be measured by one’s consumerism.
Correct, he wore #3 in his first season at United. He wore #23 at Southampton but Cleverley was had #23 when Shaw first arrived at Old Trafford.
The curse on the number 7 shirt is so strong that even Ronaldo himself turns out to be a disaster.
I'd prefer to keep it vacant for a few years now and only give it to a player who's earned it with a Player of the Year season or two for us under his belt at least. Not given right away to some big new signing, or Sancho / Garnacho when they don't deserve it yet.

Cavani scored 17 goals wearing it in 20/21 and Ronaldo scored 24 last season. Hardly bad numbers.
Curse doesn’t exist anymore, we just need to give the shirt to someone who isn’t on the precipice of retirement
Yep, I agree with that. Not necessarily POTS, but it should be left vacant for a while until somebody earns it. Which nobody has done yet. I thought Sancho would, but so far that really hasn't been the case.
the number 7 isn’t just about goals really, it’s much More than that.
yeah, xg.
Did Ronaldo deserve it at 18?
It's just a number and nobody really cares, come on.
Giving a player certain numbers under his name on a football shirt only when he earns it....

I was literally just about to post the same!
It has not aged well!
United should take it off him and he should never set foot in old Trafford again.
My OP in 2020.. Jesus!
It’s weird how this thread hasn’t archived properly for normal users. Using my handy Scout tools I can see a few earlier pages. The original OP was this…

Edit: Apologies, unaware the post had been alluded to already today!
Aged like fine wine...
I think we should take the majesty out of the number and give it to a player who performs well over a prolonged period. I don't think that player is currently in the squad.
Give it Garnacho til the end of the season

There are quite a few threads on the forum that make for absolutely incredible reading in hindsight. The covid thread being the best example. Dramatic irony at its finest.
Just tell Antony & Nacho that the number is down to the two of them. Let them duel on the pitch the rest of the season and give it to whoever elevates their game the most.
Too soon, not really deserved yet. I'd rather have him live up to his potential and be told the jersey is his in 3 years, minimum. Make it a goal for him.
Surely, the shirt would have been used to explain Sancho's struggles...
(he was meant to carry it, if you have forgotten).

Give it Giggseh
My guess is Ole promised it to Sancho. I think it will go to Antony at start of next season.
