Ronaldo rejoined United on Deadline Day from Juventus on a two-year contract.
The great Portuguese famously wore the No 7 shirt in his first spell at United, but there were concerns he may not have been able to wear that number this season with Edinson Cavani occupying the No 7 jersey.
However, with the departure of Daniel James to Leeds on Deadline Day, United have been given special dispensation by the Premier League to allow Cavani to take James’ vacant No 21 shirt with Ronaldo reclaiming the No 7 shirt from Cavani.
