Cristiano Ronaldo faces a major choice after completing his comeback to Manchester United yesterday.

As he begins his second term with the club, he is unlikely to wear his famous number seven shirt, as that number belongs to Edinson Cavani.

In his club career, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has only worn three shirt numbers: seven, nine, and 28.

With Cavani and Anthony Martial occupying positions seven and nine, his return to Old Trafford might see him revert to his first professional football number, 28.

CR7 wore the number 28 for Sporting Lisbon in Portugal during his one season there, a season in which he scored five goals in 31 games and drew interest from every major club in the globe.
