Ronaldo Grateful Jersey Number 7
The former United will begin training with Manchester United when he has completed five days of isolation. He was released from his country on Thursday because of suspension. Speaking on the kind gesture from his teammate Cavani, he said: “I wasn’t sure if it would be possible to have the number seven shirt again, so I would like to say a huge thank you to Edi [Cavani] for this incredible gesture.”
United made this known in a statement on their official website saying: “The Portuguese superstar famously wore the legendary shirt number during his first spell at United, and we can now confirm that Ronaldo will have it on his back once again.”
Ronaldo scored two late headers to take his tally to 111 for Portugal, surpassing the record previously held by Ali Daei, who scored 109 goals for Iran between 1993 and 2006.
