News Desk: Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best players in the world, is wearing the number seven jersey for more than a decade and a half. But this time after his return to Manchester United, there was a different problem. Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani was wearing the club's number 7 jersey.

So the question in everyone's mind was, is Ronaldo no longer 'CR Seven' this season? We have to wait till September 2 to get the answer. Manchester United club authorities said in an official statement on Thursday night that they would give Ronaldo the number 7 jersey. In other words, he is also in CR Seven in the new chapter of his career. Cavani, however, had to change his jersey number to give Ronaldo the number seven jersey. He will be seen wearing the number 21 jersey in the new season. Both are attacking players. United's number seven jersey has always been of special importance. Because it was played by the legends of the club like George Best, Brian Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham.

But after Ronaldo's departure in 2009, United could not find a permanent replacement for the number seven jersey. A total of six players, including Cavani, have worn United's number seven jersey during this period.

But none of them could do justice to the jersey. This time, after 12 long years, Ronaldo will return to the club and wear the number seven jersey again.
