Image
 The curse of the legendary Number   Manchester United's iconic number 7 is the club's most significant jersey. The 20-time premier league champions have had great players in the past who have been an integral part of their success and contributions, thereby cementing their legacy. Many legends have played for this prestigious club, but very few have had the privilege to don this "great" number 7 and have been successful. The below names are the icons wearing the number 7 jersey and gained recognition.  1. George Best 2. Bryan Robson 3. Eric Cantona 4. David Beckham 5.

 Red Devils Vs. Lilywhites      Image Source: google.com      Image Source: google.com      Image Source: google.com   Both teams score in the early minutes:   The game started in the most flurry style as the hosts began to apply the pressure. Moments later, United won a penalty when Sanchez tripped Martial. Honestly, the Red Devils have been getting a lot of penalties recently. Fernandes made no mistake and converted the spot-kick to give his side the lead. It looked like United would take the game from here but, football is full of surprises. Spurs reacted and equalized as they took an early throw-in that bamboozled Bailly and Maguire. Ndombele took advantage of Maguire's  sloppy header and leveled the score.       Image Source: google.com 2. Spurs continue to decimate:   It looked like that equalizer gave Jose's men a significant boost as they began to press heavily and continued to take advantage of the host's defensive woes. The North London outfit increased their lead

The most expensive keeper attempted to play the ball Jorginho only for Mane to intercept and score to increase his side's lead thanks t
