Manchester United star Antony has drawn level with Jadon Sancho for Premier League goals this season – and it may perhaps have a bearing on next season’s package numbers.
When Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in 2021, the Portuguese legend took his No.7 shirt back from Edinson Cavani – then again it’s since been left vacant upon his exit to Saudi Arabia. Back in September, it was reported that Antony and Sancho have been competing for that quantity, now.
The 2 wingers have four goals a portion in the Premier League this season, as they battle for the jersey, which has been mature by the likes of George Easiest, Eric Cantona and David Beckham in the past. So which one would inherit the digit?

Look extra
It was expected that Jadon Sancho would become United’s No.7 when he joined from Borussia Dortmund in a large-cash transfer. The England star wore that shirt quantity in the Bundesliga himself nevertheless wasn’t able to take the quantity from Cavani.
But Antony moving from Ajax has since complicated matters, since the Brazilian would probably want to take the shirt that he immediate donned at Sao Paolo, himself. Alejandro Garnacho – behind the opposite two players on two Premier League goals this season – has been touted to have the shirt next season, too.
United may perhaps neatly signal a new No.7 this summer after all, too. Antony at point to wears No.21, Sancho wears No.25, while Garnacho wears 49 for the Red Devils. Wout Weghorst was passed up for the shirt, as neatly, when he moved in January, taking the No.27 instead.
