Cristiano Ronaldo Return to Manchester United on the Cards?
Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has caused a stir by hinting that Cristiano Ronaldo could return to Old Trafford for a third spell. The legendary forward, 39, left the club under controversy in 2022 but has since enjoyed a prolific stint in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo’s contract with the Saudi Pro League outfit is set to expire in 2025, and with his ambitions to reach 1000 career goals still on track, a potential reunion in Manchester could be on the cards. Brown, who played alongside Ronaldo during his initial stints at United, feels that the Portuguese superstar may want to make amends for the sour ending.
"Even in his first season back at the club, he scored over 20 goals," Brown reminded BoyleSports, who offer a range of Champions League odds. "I think the exit was a bit over the top, but for him to come back and make amends, I’d love it."
Cristiano Ronaldo has indeed been vocal about his departure from Manchester United, sharing his frustrations with the team’s performances off the pitch. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr have parted ways with former boss Luis Castro, leaving the door ajar for a potential Ronaldo-Zinedine Zidane reunion.
The veteran forward has reportedly made attempts to lure Zidane back to the dugout, but the club’s response has been swift – rejecting the Frenchman’s advances. This has heightened speculation about Ronaldo’s potential return to Manchester United and his desire to re-unite with his former employers.
