Man Utd Transfers: 5 Reasons Why Cristiano Ronaldo Should Return To Old Trafford

By Matt Robinson / June 7, 2013

July 2009 a world record breaking fee of £80 million was accepted for the skillful winger. Four-years later and Manchester United fans around the globe are holding on to every hint and rumour that Ronaldo could return. With Ronaldo having put his Spanish villa up for sale and reportedly rejected a contract at Madrid recently, United fans are praying that this glimmer of hope can lead to a sensational summer transfer. You cannot attend a Manchester United home game without hearing the Viva Ronaldo chants that continue to echo around Old Trafford, showing the fans clear passion for Ronnie to return. A lot has changed at the club since the Portuguese was last a United player with Robin van Persie the new star attraction and David Moyes having replaced Manchester United legend, Sir Alex Ferguson. With the fair share of rumours suggesting Ronaldos return, here are five reasons why Cristiano should make a sensational return to Old Trafford...

5. He Is Still Loved At United

Any club would love a talent such as Cristiano Ronaldo in their team but The Red Devils seem to have an undying affection for their former number seven. United fans would welcome the attacker back in a heartbeat and if Ronaldo wants to feel loved again, he should look back to his roots and re-join the Premier League champions. Ronaldo has unintentionally teased Manchester United fans on several occasions of returning to the club after declaring he is sad at Real Madrid. Ronaldo told Spanish media back in September last year:

Im sad - when I dont celebrate goals its because Im not happy.

He then went on to say:

Its a professional thing. Real Madrid know why Im not happy.

It is unclear whether Ronaldo has found common ground with Real Madrid, but with the star reportedly rejecting a contract, all the rumours are pointing to a return to United.
