Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia has been handed the iconic No.7 shirt ahead of the 2012-13 season.
Valencia had previously worn the No.25 shirt, but has
now been awarded with the number seven shirt previously worn by United
greats such as George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano
Ronaldo.
Valencia recently enjoyed arguably his most
impressive campaign since joining United from Wigan. The Ecuador
international was named United’s Player of the Year, grabbing six goals
in all competitions.
United new-boy Shinji Kagawa had been offered the
number seven jersey following the departure of its previous owner
Michael Owen, but rejected the opportunity and has now been handed the
No.26 shirt vacated by Gabriel Obertan.
Meanwhile, United’s other new signing Nick Powell has
been handed Valencia’s old No.25 shirt after completing his move from
League Two play-off winners Crewe.
United are yet to confirm the remaining squad numbers for the 2012-13 campaign.
