Cristiano Ronaldo

Manchester United saw Ronaldo shine during his six years at the club.

Signed as David Beckham’s replacement in 2003, the Portugal international propelled them to three Premier League titles as well as back-to-back Champions League finals during his time at Old Trafford.

United have always been linked with Ronaldo ever since his departure for Real Madrid back in 2009.

But it could happen in 2021, with the Red Devils reportedly tempting the 35-year-old into a potential return.

And Argentinean publication El Grafico claim Ronaldo is open to moving back to United because he feels Messi may move to Manchester City from Barcelona next summer.
