According to the "Manchester Evening News" report, Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United will expire next year. Although there is an automatic one-year contract renewal clause, there is no sign or possibility that Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo have contract renewal negotiations. Therefore, Ronaldo is likely to leave Manchester United in the summer window next year.
This raises a new question, who will be United's most iconic No. 7? "cab 주소" believes that Anthony and Sancho will compete for the ownership of the No. 7 jersey, but everything depends on Ten Hag's own decision.
If you want to choose a jersey to represent a team, there is no doubt that the representative jersey of Manchester United should be No. 7. In the history of Manchester United, No. 7 has always been the most concerned jersey. George Bestella opened the No. 7 jersey. In the prelude of , Cantona, Beckham, and Ronaldo all wore the No. 7 jersey to reach the peak of Manchester United's career. Manchester United's No. 7 has always represented contribution and prestige.
Regardless of whether Cristiano Ronaldo will renew his contract or not, considering that he is 38 years old, the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo staying at Manchester United is indeed very low, and it is inevitable for Manchester United to choose a new No. 7. When Sancho joined Manchester United in the summer window last year, he promised to give Sancho the number 7 shirt after Cavani left the team in the future. However, the joining of Ronaldo made the No. 7 jersey exclusive to Ronaldo.
You must know that Sancho wore the No. 7 jersey in Dortmund, making him a hot midfielder in football; another player who was considered by "Manwan" to be the No. 7 jersey was the Brazilian winger Anthony. The problem is that the Brazilian winger is in the The No. 11 jersey was worn during Ajax's days, and now Manchester United's No. 11 belongs to Greenwood.
To a certain extent, "cab 주소" may not have realized that when it reported that Anthony would compete for the ownership of the No. 7 jersey, he might subconsciously think that the No. 11 jersey belonged to Greenwood, which means that "cab 주소" also believes that Greenwood is very likely to return to Manchester United next season, so the probability of Anthony getting the No. 11 jersey is very low.
Sancho now wears the No. 25 jersey at Manchester United, which is the number that Manchester United winger Valencia once wore, Valencia briefly took over the No. 7 jersey; and Anthony wears the No. 21 jersey at Manchester United, which is De Jong's current jersey Number to wear in Barcelona. Judging from the current news, the probability of Sancho getting the No. 7 jersey seems to be higher than that of Anthony.
After all, Anthony seems to prefer No. 11 to No. 7. In fact, it is not surprising what kind of numbers a player gets. The key is to keep up with the performance on the court. Sancho's performance has begun to recover this season, but it has not yet reached the offensive threat of Dortmund's period, and Anthony has yet to integrate. , Manchester United's current attack on the two wings has not been fully opened.
Whether it is Sancho or Anthony, they have to show the strength to match the No. 7 jersey, otherwise the No. 7 jersey will only become a burden for them. Valencia had worn the No. 7 jersey that year, but had to change back to the No. 25 jersey after a poor season.
