Solskjaer reacts to Edinson Cavani giving up no.7 shirt to Cristiano Ronaldo

Speaking to MUTV, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: "Edinson has been remarkable. Cristiano spoke with Edinson and they spoke to each other.

"And to pass on his shirt just shows the respect he's got for Cristiano, but also Cristiano speaking to Edinson shows the respect the other way. Two top, top professionals and players."

Premier League have bent their rules to allow Cristiano Ronaldo to take the no.7 shirt despite the fact that it had already been assigned to Edinson Cavani at the beginning of the season.

The 34-year-old will now wear the no.21 jersey, his preferred number for the Uruguay national team over the years. The shirt became available following Daniel James' deadline day transfer to Leeds.
