PLAYERS HAVE DONE THE LEGENDARY NUMBER 7 Shirt

Andrei Kanchelskis (1991-1992)

Eric Cantona (1992-1997)

Cầu thủ người Pháp, nhận được nhiều sự kỳ vọng nhưng rồi lại gây thất vọng với 1 lỗi lầm không thể nào sửa chữa. Trong một trận đấu, không biết thực sự là vô tình hay cố ý mà cầu thủ này đã tung một cú đá, tấn công người hâm mộ đang chứng kiến trận đấu. Cú đá mạnh bất ngờ của anh đã khiến khán đài hôm ấy náo loạn, và một mức án treo giò là hình phạt anh phải nhận lấy.

Michael Owen (2009-2012)

Replacing Ronaldo’s No. 7 position at Manchester United, Owen has had a smooth start, but perhaps he was unlucky to stick with MU for a long period of 3 years and only scored 17 goals. With this poor performance, the number 7 shirt continues to change hands.

Antonio Valencia (2012-2014)

Things did not seem to be going well for the male midfielder, so he only stuck with MU for only 3 seasons, and then he returned to the shirt that made his name, the number 25.

Angel Di Maria (2014-2015)

Under coach Louis van Gaal, Maria did not have time to show her talent when moving to MU, he was hastily sold to PSG club (Paris Saint-Germain).

Memphis Depay (2015-2017)

An impressive young player, successful at Barcelona, it seems that his form will still be stable. But Depay was unlucky when he decided to move to Manchester United. It is hard to blame the male player when the responsibility is so great that it is given to a 21-year-old young player.
