Number 7 occupies a special place in the history of football because of the legendary players who have donned it. There are not many numbers, which can match the prestige of the number seven. People expect whoever is wearing the number seven to play a game above the rest; stand out and make the difference, carry the team to victory and glory. Usually, a number given to prolific wingers, nowadays we also see the number sported by centre midfielders and strikers. George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and more stars wore number 7 at Manchester United. Here’s a list of Manchester United’s number sevens since Cristiano Ronaldo and where they are now.

Angel Di Maria The Argentine star joined United in the summer of 2014. He has been remembered not for a good reason, his career can be summed up by United’s away to Leicester City during 2014/15 campaign.
