Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani was praised by many for allowing Cristiano Ronaldo to take up the number seven jersey upon his arrival last summer.
The Uruguayan has had a tough season riddled with injuries, but was an important part in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team last term. His 17 goals helped United to a second-place Premier League finish and the Europa League final — all while donning the famous number seven jersey. The shirt has been worn by many United greats over the years including George Best, Eric Cantona and David Beckham.
While Cavani may not be at the meteoric heights of the aforementioned club legends, his contributions to the team means he certainly hasn’t done a disservice to the number despite recent injury travails.
