Don't know what everyone else thinks but I've been thinking about our number 7 shirt, I know we've had some great players over the years to wear it, but in recent years the standards of how big that shirt is as dipped, ranging from an end of career Owen to tony, not only that but playing for a club as big as ours and the likes of di Maria disrespecting the shirt n most importantly our club shouldn't that shirt be reserved for the 1 and I don't just mean a worldie I mean a player who wants to here until we say different not the other way round, unlike other clubs I believe for years anyway our numbers have always been a massive part of us, I wouldn't want that to change now we don't have saf, just my input would be nice to know how others feel cheers

I think we should give the number 7 a year out. I think it puts a lot of pressure on players wearing it because the know how iconic it is apart from that waste of space di maria he just wasn't interested from the start. think the consensus is give it to Memphis but I think a player should earn it this year so they realise how lucky they are to be giving it

I would give it back to Robson

I'm sure everyone agrees that the number 7 shirt is special due to its history and should be worn by a 'special' player. However, I also feel that due to its pedigree it can also help a player develop and reach their full potential. Knowing its history and how much the 7 means on a United shirt is surely going to give the right player an additional dose of confidence and an extra half a yard of pace.
On the wrong player it might actually be too much of a burden to carry if they think about it too much! Although I don't think that's likely!
I'm sure that we all expected more from di Maria, even those that didn't rate him too highly! Has that tarnished the number 7? Perhaps a little but then it's down to the next number 7 to restore the full shine, lustre and magic that our number 7 deserves.
So, yes, give it to a special player but as you say it doesn't have to be a worldie but certainly someone with at least the potential to become someone 'special'.

It's just a number really though.

Give it to Bastian

MDH it isn't just a number tho isit, it's like saying our badge is just a badge or its only football manutd have earned the right to say our number 7 is special just saying its not worth letting that side to our club go, if where to remain the biggest club in the the little things matter just as much as these marquee signings most are demanding, I belive we don't need a marquee my self someone who can get a tap in and have no price tag pressure and just basically do the job a striker is ment to do, I mean does it really matter what save a keeper makes is job is to keep it out as a striker job is to score, we all want attractive football but that will happen in time just need to get the burden of not being feared anymore then the marquee can come in and my us look posh

Sorry Big P but to me it is just a number and should make no difference to a professional player. Only the player wearing it can make it "iconic" to the fans. Yes, 7 had history, but it is just that and it won't make whoever wears it any better or worse. Sorry but I just don't buy into this number related romance - the badge is on every shirt.

When I played Sunday football I used to just grab the first shirt from the pile, swerving any that hadn't been washed was too priority. 9 one week, 3 the next - got a bit confusing when being ticked off by refs but that's about it. A few of the lads would get eggy if they didn't get their "lucky" shirt, for a couple nothing more to do with size than number!
