Manchester United signing Cristiano Ronaldo could yet take the No7 shirt from Edinson Cavani.
The Portuguese's Old Trafford return provides a huge boost to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has enjoyed a good summer window having already landed Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane for a combined £115.5million.
Ronaldo wore the club's famous No 7 shirt, the same number worn by club legends such as George Best, Eric Cantona and David Beckham.
And following his return to the club, there is still uncertainty over whether Ronaldo will be handed his old shirt for his second stint at United.
The No 7 shirt is currently occupied by Cavani, who held onto the number after Sancho's arrival, with the Englishman having to settle for the No 25 instead.
Dale Johnson reports the only way Ronaldo can reclaim the shirt is if Cavani - who signed a contract extension earlier this year - leaves the club, or if the Premier League grants special dispensation to allow the switch.
Such an allowance has never been made before so will be a first in Premier League history.
