Cristiano Ronaldo Set to Make Sensational Manchester United Return – But Not as a Player
Cristiano Ronaldo has left fans in a frenzy once again, with former Manchester United striker Louis Saha tipping the 39-year-old to make a stunning return to Old Trafford – but not as a player. The Portuguese superstar made his name at Manchester United, where he played for six years between 2003 and 2009, winning numerous titles and cementing his status as one of the greatest players in the world.
After a successful first spell at Manchester United, Ronaldo went on to lift 16 major trophies, including four Champions Leagues, during his nine-year stint at Real Madrid. His emotional return to Manchester United in 2022 didn’t quite live up to expectations, but Saha believes that won’t deter Ronaldo from making a comeback in the future.
"Cristiano Ronaldo has the passion and dedication to return to Manchester United one day, that could be as a coach or even a manager," Saha told TVSporten.
While Ronaldo’s second spell at Manchester United didn’t quite go as planned, Saha believes the veteran forward has the qualities to succeed as a coach or manager. He may need to adapt his approach, but Saha sees no reason why Ronaldo wouldn’t be a success in the dugout.
As things stand, Ronaldo is still going strong, playing for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr. He has 12 months left on his contract and has managed an impressive 60 goals in 66 games in all competitions.
Saha’s comments have sent Manchester United fans into a frenzy, with many calling for the club to re-sign their beloved hero. But, as Saha hinted, Ronaldo’s return would likely be in a different capacity.
