Premier League list BOTH Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani as Manchester United's No 7 this season, adding further confusion to whether superstar has reclaimed his famous shirt under 'special dispensation' rule

It appears as though Cristiano Ronaldo may yet still wear the No 7 shirt on his return to Manchester United after the Premier League website listed him with the iconic number.

The 36-year-old superstar sealed a dramatic return to United on Friday having been heavily linked with a move to rivals Manchester City just hours before.

His move back to the club has prompted debate into which number he should wear for the upcoming season, with Edinson Cavani currently occupying the No 7 shirt.

However, in a bizarre turn of events, the Premier League have now assigned the number to both players.
