Here in my area where I live, many believe that every Number in United squad comes with great responsibilities and Number seven (7) jersey is most feared.
Example: Number 10 Jersey. Many believed that ever since Rashford took that Number he dropped in his performance. Neglecting the fact that he play’s that same position with Number 19 Jersey. Do you think he lost form.?
Why Manchester United players are not taking the Number 7 Jersey.
A lot of players play that position better without the Number 7 but fail to deliver when handed the number 7 Jersey. This is simply because previous players who wore the Number did great exploits in the club, taking that number without reaching the predecessors achievement is not an achievement.

Eric Cantona – David Beckham – Owens – Ronaldo. These are great Man United Number 7 players. And since they left, non was upto their achievements.
Nani – Di Maria – Alexis Sanchez. They couldn’t make a good seven or perform better than their predecessors. They can’t kill themselves.View pictures in App save up to 80% data.
Summary : Wearing that shirt Number can be a burden or a privilege.
