Cristiano Ronaldo is back at Manchester United again!

Grand welcome awaits Ron

“Everyone at the club looks forward to welcoming Cristiano back to Manchester.” United’s swoop capped a tumultuous 24 hours during which Ronaldo initially seemed poised to join rivals Manchester City. Premier League champions City had been widely linked with a move for the Portuguese forward after missing out on England captain Harry Kane. However, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted a deal was in the offing during his pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of Sunday’s Premier League trip to Wolves. 

‘Cristiano is a legend’

“Cristiano is a legend of this club, he’s the greatest player of all time, if you ask me,” said Solskjaer, who played alongside Ronaldo. We’ve always had a good communication. I know Bruno [Fernandes] has been talking to him as well. He knows what we feel about him. If he was ever going to move from Juventus, he knows that we’re here.”

Sky Sport Italia reported that United have offered Juve 28 million euros ($33 million), agreeing a two-year deal with the superstar attacker worth 25 million euros per season. Ronaldo won the first of his five Champions League titles and was first crowned the world’s best player during six years at United between 2003 and 2009. In total he scored 118 goals in 292 games, also winning three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and two League Cups.
