Alexis Sanchez has been pictured wearing the number seven on the back of a Manchester United shirt ahead of his impending move from Arsenal.
Much like the number ten at Barcelona, or the number nine at Liverpool, wearing the number seven on your back at Old Trafford instantly elevates you to talismanic status.
The shirt is steeped in history with some of the most iconic players in the club’s history bearing the number on their back.
George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham all wore seven before it was eventually taken up by Cristiano Ronaldo.
