The recent swap in the iconic jersey number seven in the Red Devils' came saw the Uruguayan El-Matador Edison Cavani handing the number to the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, a number which was his, and has been part of him and his brand though out his career in and out of the sports domain.
The jersey number seven in Manchester United has been an iconic jersey worn by heros of the past in the team though of recent after the departure of Ronaldo from the team in 2009 and before the arrival of the El-Matador last season, the jersey has been worn by quite a good number of players who have actually not really made a good representation of it given that these players had flopped over this period.
The arrival of Edison Cavani in the previous season saw him been given the jersey number seven, a case in which many football fans especially those who were rivals to Manchester United anticipated that he was certainly going to follow the tune of the number seven curse thus being one of the flops with the jersey number at Manchester United. But contrary to these anticipations, Edison Cavani surprised many with an absolute great performance in the team being that every game in which Cavani took part in the field, his impact was felt especially in cases where he came from the bench to give the team a comeback.
The performance of Edison Cavani with the number seven jersey was greatly effective, and he was termed to be the best number seven since the 2009 departure of Ronaldo given that he was already breaking the curse of the number which many other had won and flopped with.
The swap of the number seven jersey sees Edison Cavani wearing the shirt number '21' (due to the departure of our former speedster Daniel James to Leeds United), a jersey number which equally has a good definition of him given that it is the number which he wears in the jerseys of his national team and most importantly with regards to this post is the number which equally matches with his social media Instagram handle @cavaniofficial21. The number seven jersey goes to United's newly World class player Cristiano Ronaldo which has been his figure in his career and equally matching his brand definition 'CR7'.
