Rio Ferdinand has seemed to drop a significant hint with regards to what shirt number Cristiano Ronaldo will wear following his return to Manchester United.

That is as per Ferdinand who appeared to guarantee that Edinson Cavani – the current holder of the number seven shirt has offered it to Cristiano Ronaldo.
While Premier League rules express a player isn’t permitted to switch shirt numbers during a season, a proviso could see Cristiano Ronaldo wear the number seven shirt as Cavani is yet to feature for Man United.
This is what Rio Ferdinand had to say on his YouTube channel;
”Just to think Cavani could be the back-up for Ronaldo, it’s unbelievable. Cavani, I have to say, what a man. He saw who was coming to town and gave up the No. 7 shirt.
Maybe? I don’t know. Does he do that or not? At the end of the day, you know what the problem might be is that the shirts have been registered, maybe. And that might be an issue. So he might not be able to be No.7 so we’ll see.”

I gave my heart and soul for Juventus and I’ll always love the city of Turin until my final days. The “tifosi bianconeri” always respected me and I tried to thank that respect by fighting for them in every game, every season, every competition. In the end, we can all look back and realize that we achieved great things, not all that we wanted, but still, we wrote a pretty beautiful story together.
“Juve, storia di un grande amore
Bianco che abbraccia il nero
Coro che si alza davvero
Juve per sempre sara…”
