Manchester United s No. 7 is the number one! Best s 1st crown starts the legend, Cristiano Ronaldo wears the hat, and Cantona beats Liverpool

Do you know which jersey number in world football can make players feel pressure to "be legendary" as soon as they wear it? Yes, it is Manchester United's No. 7. In the editor's opinion, this jersey has a special meaning for the "Red Devils". Each generation of people who wear it have firmly "welded" their own characteristics into the number, especially Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have become the symbol of No. 7.

Manchester United's No. 7 jersey has a special meaning. Starting from Best, this jersey is full of legend. However, before, Manchester United's No. 7 jersey was just an ordinary jersey.

At a time when the team was in its darkest moments, especially after the Munich air disaster, the Northern Irishman used his performance to score six consecutive goals in a single game to help Manchester United win the first Champions League in team history.

Since then, the Red Devils have completely emerged from the shadows. Brazilian football king Pele said that Best has a pair of feet given by God, and he gave Manchester United's No. 7 a special soul.

After George left, No. 7 sank for nearly ten years. It wasn't until Robson took over in 1981 that the number was "resurrected".

At that time, Manchester United was at the trough of the post-Busby era and had not won the top league championship in 20 years. When he appeared at the Theater of Dreams, 80,000 fans packed the stadium. This tough midfielder not only played well, but also became the spiritual pillar of the team.

Ferguson later admitted that when Robson took over No. 7, he carried the hope of "making the Red Devils stand up again" - No. 7 went from being a "symbol of talent" to an "iron-blooded pillar."

After Robson, Cantona injected the core of king into No. 7. With his iconic stand-up collar, he has a commanding aura as soon as he steps onto the court. This is not an act, it is a domineering spirit that comes from his bones.

In the FA Cup final of the 1995-96 season, his volley beat Liverpool and became an eternal classic at Old Trafford.

The Times said that in just five years, Eric injected 20 years of championship genes into the team. Even if he once kicked the fans and he encountered unprecedented controversy, no one can deny that Cantona gave Manchester United's No. 7 a "bloody spirit."

Beckham, who succeeded Eric, opened the "global door" to Manchester United's No. 7. His Benedictine arc was terrifyingly accurate. He won the Triple Crown in the 1998-99 season and assisted Manchester United with a corner kick in stoppage time in the Champions League final, directly helping Manchester United complete a miraculous comeback.

With his handsome appearance and unstoppable passing, the No. 7 jersey has become the best-selling sports peripheral in the world, especially in China, which has set off a craze for the Red Devils. He did not reach the personal peak of Cristiano Ronaldo, but he just turned No. 7 from a "sports symbol" into a "global cultural IP".

It is Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo who has brought No. 7 to its peak. When he was 18 years old, he was brought to the Old Trafford Stadium by Ferguson. His handsome image and gorgeous dribbling made Ronaldo instantly become the darling of Manchester United. Fans seemed to have forgotten Beckham. After Ronaldo left the team, he had already won the Ballon d'Or.

In the 2007-08 season, he scored 42 goals throughout the season, won the European Golden Boot in one fell swoop, and led the team to the top of Europe on a rainy night in Moscow. Returning to Manchester United in 2021, the 36-year-old Ronaldo can also score a hat trick against Tottenham.

Wearing the "Red Devils" No. 7 twice, Cristiano Ronaldo infected all fans with his speed, strength and unwillingness to admit defeat. After the Portuguese superstar left Manchester United, this jersey seemed to be stained with a curse, and no one could carry the team's banner anymore.

Which moment best represents Manchester United’s No. 7 in your heart? Is it Cantona's immediate victory over Liverpool, Beckham's Champions League stoppage time assist, or Ronaldo's hat trick against Tottenham after his return? Let’s chat together!
