Manchester United have announced that Cristiano Ronaldo will be taking over the iconic No.7 shirt this season.

Ronaldo, 36, completed a sensational return to Old Trafford last Friday – after it initially appeared he would be joining Manchester City – and there has been uncertainty surrounding which number the Portuguese will be wearing, given Edinson Cavani occupied his favoured No.7.
