Manchester United already planning longer Cristiano Ronaldo stay after contract decision
Manchester United announced on Friday they’d agreed a deal to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus. And, now, contract details are starting to surface. It appears the Portugal international could stay at Old Trafford for longer than his two-year contract.
Until Friday morning, many had expected Ronaldo to return to Manchester. But with City, instead of United.
Pep Guardiola was chasing a deal for the Juventus star after missing out on Harry Kane, who will now stay at Tottenham.
But, after a sensational 24 hours that saw Ronaldo talk with former team-mates and Sir Alex Ferguson, he opted for an emotional return to Old Trafford instead.
It’s a huge deal, with United making their former No 7 the best-paid player in Premier League history.
And their decision to give him a two-year deal, with an option of a third according to Sky Sports, suggests they’re already planning for him to stay around.
