Cristiano Ronaldo decision 'p***ed off' Man Utd teammate two days after Old Trafford return

Edinson Cavani was furious after the Manchester United hierarchy ordered him to give up the No. 7 shirt to Cristiano Ronaldo at the start of the season, according to reports.

The Uruguayan striker, 35, wore the esteemed jersey during his debut season at Old Trafford but had to relinquish it two days after Ronaldo returned to the Red Devils on deadline day last summer. The Portuguese superstar, 37, is synonymous with the number seven he previously wore during stunning spells with United, Real Madrid and Juventus, so it came as no surprise to see him take the shirt off Cavani.

However, this was not met kindly by his new teammate, who has enjoyed a brilliant, goal-laden career of his own playing for Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain before arriving in the Premier League in 2020.
