Why Cristiano Ronaldo has number 7?

When Ronaldo joined Manchester United, he requested for Number 28 Jersey which was his Sporting Lisbon Number however Sir Alex Ferguson saw his capability of happening to the one of the best footballer so he gave him Number 7 on his shirt. The no. 7 shirt was recently given to Eric Cantona and David Beckham (two of the best Manchester United Players). Ronaldo conceded that there was some underlying weight on him however he in the end proceeded to end up one of the best player played for United.

As far back as Ronaldo (CR7) left to Real Madrid, for a long time this number was not given to any player. In 2018, Sir Jose Mourinho gave this Jersey to Alexis Sanchez(former Arsenal Player) so we should see whether he will proceed with the inheritance or not.

He kept same Shit number with Real Madrid and even now with Juventus. We can say that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best players (with Messi and highest paid player in the world also).
