Ronaldo wasnt known by a lot doesnt mean he wasn't good. in fact he was, do you know all the players asked SAF to buy him when they played against him in 2003? either he is already good, or his potential is for all of them to see.
The number doesnt set the standard, but dont you think that number itself is magical and historic? so many legends of United wear that number.
Yes, maybe you dont have to start good to wear that number. but that player must be able to continue that tradition if u get what i mean. United's no7 is always something, for whatever reason will give the wearer an extra edge. Even Owen can claim legendhood in MU's folklore with the goal against City in the 4-3 win last season.
Imagine if Manucho were given the 7

that's exactly my point, which is why I don't get your logic of "not up to the standard yet"..I mean, how on earth do we determine whether a player is good enough or not to don that kit with 7?(dont take that too far with Manucho or Dong or Djemba djemba etc

)My point with Ronnie is the same, and no one knew or even think he can become the man he is now back then regardless of him being good or not.. There is no specific threshold for that, if you get what I mean
unless SAF wants to vacant it, then bring in some youngsters to play..the best of the lot for a few years gets to wear it...but that whole thing is unlikely to happen
