Manchester United coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has disclosed how Cristiano Ronaldo got the no.7 shirt from Edinson Cavani after his return to the club.

Cavani has been wearing the shirt which Ronaldo wore during his first stay at the club.

However, following the 36-year-old’s arrival from Juventus, he spoke with Cavani and asked to take it back.

Cavani will now wear the no. 21 shirt, which became vacant after Daniel James joined Leeds United.

Solskjaer when asked about Ronaldo wearing the number 7 jersey at his pre-match press conference on Friday said the Portuguese superstar who phoned up his new teammate to request the swap.

“It’s one of these things that Edison has been remarkable, played really, really well last season. Cristiano rang Edinson and they spoke with each other.

“To pass up his shirt, it just shows the respect he’s got for Cristiano but also Cristiano speaking to Edinson shows the respect the other way. Two top, top professionals and players and human beings,” he said.
