Manchester United has reportedly offered Lionel Messi the opportunity to wear Cristiano Ronaldo’s number 7 jersey if he decides to join the Premier League club this summer. According to El Nacional, the Red Devils are eyeing a potential move for the Argentine star, who could become a major signing for the team. The report suggests that if Messi makes the move to Old Trafford, he could inherit the iconic jersey number that was previously worn by Ronaldo during his time at the club.
The rumors of Messi’s potential move to Manchester United have been circulating for a while, with various reports indicating that the 2022 World Cup winner might leave Parc des Princes this summer. His contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire in June, and there are speculations that the French club’s fans have been whistling at him during the last two home games.
Given that Manchester United has a long-standing history of legendary players wearing the number 7 jersey, it is no surprise that they are keen on signing one of the greatest footballers of all time. The likes of George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, and Ronaldo have all donned the number 7 shirt for the Red Devils, and the addition of Messi would be a massive coup for the club.
However, it remains to be seen if Messi will indeed leave PSG this summer and make a move to Old Trafford. The transfer window is still a few months away, and there could be other clubs vying for his signature as well. Regardless, the prospect of Messi playing in the Premier League is an exciting one for football fans worldwide, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up next season.
