Man Utd's curse 7 on 13 goals since the departure of Cristano Ronaldo

The star of Chile spent the worst time in his career before his crossing to Inter.

But 29-year-old is not the only player in recent years who has faced difficulties with United City after receiving the number 7. Since Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Real Madrid in 2009, five players have worn that fan but have never managed to rise to Portuguese level, the news reads.

Things become even more ironic when you consider the past of this number that at “Old Trafford” is a myth, having kept some of United legends like George Best, Eric Cantona and David Beckham.

To pass from Ronaldo to Sanchez, the number 7 has “traveled” on Michael Owen's back, Antonio Valencias, Angel di Marias and Mephis Depayt. None of them have ever shown more than a pound.

Among them, the five of these players have scored 13 goals in Premierliga in total, playing 138 matches with this fan.

“Mallim” is also confirmed by the fact that after leaving Number 7 at United, Di Maria and Depay are playing very well in France.
