Ronaldo Returns to Manchester United in a Blockbuster MoveRonaldo Returns to Manchester United in a Blockbuster Move Manchester United have orchestrated a sensational transfer deal, bringing Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford after 12 years. The Portuguese superstar left the English club in 2009 to join Real Madrid, where he became a legend. Juventus, his most recent team, confirmed his departure with immediate effect. The 36-year-old forward has agreed to a two-year contract, with an option for a third year. The transfer fee is reported to be around £12.8 million, plus potential add-ons. United had been linked with Ronaldo throughout the summer, following his request to leave Juventus earlier this month. “Manchester United is delighted to confirm the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus, subject to international clearance,” the club announced in a statement. “Ronaldo will wear the iconic No. 7 shirt at Old Trafford, which he previously wore during his first spell at the club.” Ronaldo’s return has sparked immense excitement among United fans. The Portuguese winger was instrumental in the club’s Premier League title wins in 2007, 2008, and 2009, as well as their 2008 UEFA Champions League triumph. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed Ronaldo’s return as a “dream come true.” “Cristiano is a legend of the club and his return is an incredible moment for us all,” Solskjaer said. “He’s one of the greatest players of all time and he will bring his vast experience, quality, and winning mentality to the team.” Ronaldo is expected to make his second debut for United on September 11th, when the Red Devils host Newcastle United at Old Trafford. His arrival is a major boost for United’s title aspirations, as they look to challenge Manchester City and Chelsea for the Premier League crown.
