Two ways to get Ronaldo back number 7. But why can't he walk the way of Messi

The Portuguese international, Cristiano Ronaldo, is still confused between the numbers to choose the number he will wear with the Manchester United team, as the number 7 that he was associated with is currently assigned to Uruguayan Edinson Cavani and the latter cannot give up according to the rules of the English Premier League at a time when the “Don” can get. Although Cavani leaves the team or gets an exception from the FA.

Ronaldo faces another obstacle if he wants to follow the path of his rival, Argentine Lionel Messi, who recently moved from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain and wore the number 30 shirt with which he had started his career with the Catalan giant, as the number 28 that Ronaldo was wearing in The beginning of his professional career with Sporting Lisbon is also reserved, as he was carried by the other Uruguayan, Facundo Pelestre.

The Premier League rules state that “before the start of each season, each team must assign a different shirt number to each player, and retain their shirt number throughout the season.”

The irony was that when Ronaldo joined United for the first time in the 2002-03 season, he requested the number 28 shirt he wore with Sporting Lisbon to avoid the pressures of comparison and fans betting related to the number “7”, which was worn by the best and most famous players in the club, such as George Best, Brian Robson Eric Cantona and David Beckham.

But if Ronaldo had to dispense with the number 7 shirt, he can currently take the following numbers: 12, 15, 24, 30, 31, 33.

The official website of the Manchester United club had published the official statement that the club’s management had reached an agreement with Italian Juventus regarding the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, after agreeing to personal conditions, obtaining a visa and skipping medical examinations, but the club did not publish the number of the shirt that the player will wear.

Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano has won more than 30 titles during his career, including five Champions League titles, four Club World Cup titles, seven league titles in England, Spain and Italy, and the European champion with Portugal.

During his first spell with Manchester United, Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 matches.
