Ronaldo refuses to rule out United return

Former Red says he could move back to Old Trafford in the future as Real Madrid prepare to meet his former club in Michigan.
Cristiano Ronaldo has refused to rule out a return to Manchester United. The 29-year-old, who left Old Trafford in 2009, was linked with a move back last summer before signing a new long-term deal at Real Madrid. He's under contract at the Bernabeu until 2018, by which time he'll be 33.

But asked ahead of Real's clash with United in Michigan whether he could ever see himself returning to the club he joined from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, the Portuguese forward claimed anything is possible.


Ronaldo said: “Of course, it was one of my favourite clubs, Manchester, everyone knows that every time when I speak about Real Madrid I should speak about Manchester United, I love it there.

“I was 18-years-old, I win everything there. The people treat me like a god there so I appreciate it and in the future nobody knows.”

In 2012 Ronaldo claimed he was 'sad' at Real Madrid, prompting more talk of a return to United.

He has since put his differences with the club behind him and helped them to a record 10th European title last season.

But he insists he will never forget how well he was treated at Old Trafford after arriving as an 18-year-old.

And it's for that reason, he says, that he could never rule out the possibility of going back.
