However, to many United fans, the No.7 shirt is seen as "cursed".
Big names and promising stars alike have taken on the weight of the shirt - worn by greats such as George Best, Eric Cantona, Bryan Robson and David Beckham - and failed to make their mark.
The likes of Alexis Sanchez, Angel Di Maria, Michael Owen and Memphis Depay come to mind in recent times.
