Manchester United has stunned its supporters by announcing that it is now no longer possible to print the names of three of its greatest icons on official shirts sold in the club store. The affected names are Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, and Eric Cantona.This decision is linked to image rights held by the three former players, which prevent the club from using their names for commercial purposes, particularly on merchandise.According to the international outlet Goal, a notice displayed in the official store makes these restrictions clear. It reads:“Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to print the names: Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo.”
