Since joining Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has already achieved a new milestone.
Ronaldo has surpassed Lionel Messi and Tom Brady in terms of shirt sales in sports
history.
After parting ways with Juventus, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner chose to
restart his relationship with Manchester United this summer. Last Monday, the Premier League
giants revealed that their prodigal son would be returning home after a 12-year absence. The
news drove fans into a frenzy before Manchester United confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival
on transfer deadline day.
However, there was still some uncertainty about which shirt
number the Portuguese would wear during his second spell with the Red Devils. It was only
fair that the player deserved his shirt back after contributing to the No. 7's heritage by
wearing it on his back. Regrettably, it was given to Edinson Cavani, who last season
restored the shirt's lustre.
The Uruguayan quickly won the globe's hearts with his
generosity, handing over the shirt to Cristiano Ronaldo without hesitation. There was an
extensive line outside Old Trafford minutes after the news was announced. The legendary
Manchester United shirt with the Portuguese's name and the number was in high demand among
fans.
Outside of North America, the Red Devils had the most significant online sales
in a single day on a single sports merchandising website. Manchester United's official
merchandise online had its biggest ever global sales day within the first hour of the
announcement. The Portuguese were obviously on their way to making history.
According
to fans who manage the club's online shop, Cristiano Ronaldo became the highest-selling
player in history. This happened just 24 hours after his official transfer to Old Trafford.
After moving to Manchester United, the Portuguese eclipsed Lionel Messi's numbers and Tom
Brady's numbers after joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Cristiano Ronaldo will play
for Manchester United in the game against Newcastle United at Old Trafford next weekend. The
Portuguese has already arrived in the United Kingdom and are being quarantined. He'll arrive
at Carrington in the middle of the week to take part in first-team training.
