Manchester United fans are currently trusting that Cristiano Ronaldo’s shocking return to the club brings accomplishment on the pitch as his return has as of now brought business accomplishment off the pitch.
The popular Manchester United No. 7 shirt that will be worn by the playmaker this season, has crushed the Premier League record for Jersey deals in only 12 hours after the jersey was released.
As indicated by LovetheSales.com, that tracks deals information from more than 1,000 UK online retailers, in the 12 hours after Ronaldo’s new unit was delivered, die-hard fans dished out £32.5m ($60m) on his no. 7 jersey.
As indicated by Fox News, the total sales broke a Premier League record for the 12 hours after a player’s true shirt number was declared.
This is what Manchester United had to say after announcing Ronaldo’s No. 7 hersey number;
”We can confirm that Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the iconic no.7 shirt after returning to Old Trafford. The Portuguese superstar famously wore the legendatry shirt number during his first spell with the club and we can confirm that Cristiano will have it on his back again. Fans can order the new Ronaldo no.7 shirts now from United direct.
In his first 6 seasons at the club, between 2003 and 2009, Ronaldo made 292 appearances and scored 118 goals, winning 9 trophies including 3 Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League.
As we all know, the no.7 is a special shirt in the history of United. It has previously been worn by club icons like George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham. Now, it returns to the man who succeeded Beckham in it, Ronaldo.
Ronaldo inherits the number from Edinson Cavani, who wore the shirt last season and in our away win at the Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend. As out new signing is allocated no. 7, El Matador will switch to 21, the same number our prolific striker wears for the Uruguayan national team.”
