Manchester United reportedly ran out of No. 7s jerseys in their club shop despite Cristiano Ronaldo negotiating his own transfer exit.
The Portuguese celebrity arrived at Carrington this morning after flying back to Manchester last night.
To meet with Erik ten Hag, Richard Arnold, and even Sir Alex Ferguson for urgent negotiations, he drove into the practice field with agent Jorge Mendes.
His popularity is still at an all-time high, though, six miles away at Old Trafford, where fans are lining up to have his name embroidered on the back of their replica jerseys.
In fact, the megastore used every last No. 7 to go on the back. According to The Manchester Evening News, one young child even requested that his father buy “Siiiu 7” for his uniform, a reference to the well-known Ronaldo celebration.
Moreover, it’s bad news for any ardent fans of Shola Shoretire, Alex Telles, or Fred who won’t be able to purchase the 17, 27, or 47 shirts honoring their heroes due to shortage.
