Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the number seven shirt for Manchester United, the club has confirmed.
The 36-year-old takes the number, which he wore in his first stint at Old Trafford, from Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani - who moves to number 21.
Ronaldo has thanked Cavani for the incredible gesture.
A mark of the man ❤️@ECavaniOfficial 🤝 @Cristiano#MUFC
