Former Manchester United player, Wes Brown, has urged the Red Devils to resist the temptation to hand winger Alejandro Garnacho the famous number 7 shirt at Old Trafford.
The number 7 shirt was last worn by Cristiano Ronaldo, whose contract was terminated last month.
And Brown believes it will be too early for Garnacho to inherit the iconic jersey from Ronaldo.
“Maybe not just yet, and I don’t mean that in a bad way,” Brown told Metro UK when asked about Garnacho inheriting the number 7 shirt.
“He’s a great young player, I love his attitude on the pitch, the way he wants it, the way he attacks.
“He wants to do well for himself and do well for the team. I think the manager [Erik ten Hag] has done well too holding off on him for quite a long time in that first period of the season.
“But that has helped him, getting that bit of anger out to show that he’s good enough to play in this team. Now it’s just about managing that.”
