Exiled in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo, 39, is done with high-level football, although he would still be interested in a return to Manchester United according to one of his teammates.
“I think Cristiano Ronaldo would be delighted to return to the club, in a role where he would be respected. He left the club with negative statements, so the management might blame him, but the players and fans understood what he said.”. At 39, can “CR7” make a second resounding return to Manchester United? It is Louis Saha, teammate of the Portuguese from 2003 to 2009 with the residents of Old Trafford, who mentions this possibility in an interview given to Betfred.
Ruben Amorim has indeed left Sporting to take the reins of the Red Devils during the international window. Can the young strategist (who will celebrate his 40th birthday this winter like Ronaldo!) call on the five-time Ballon d’Or? “Cristiano has a connection with Ruben Amorim, but I don’t think he will hire him just because he is his friend. He won’t recruit him to please him, it will only be if he thinks Ronaldo can help.”responds the former French international striker.
Saha categorical on Ronaldo
And it’s up to Saha to drive the point home (as if to intrigue Man United fans): “If there is a possibility, I’m sure Ronaldo would be happy to come back and help the club, because he would love the challenge. If there is an opportunity, he will come”. Funny position!
There is very little chance of seeing Ronaldo, soon to be in his forties, return to the club which made him a superstar from 2003 to 2009. “CR7” continues to explode the scores with Al-Nassr and the Portuguese selection (57 goals in 63 matches last season, 15 goals in 20 matches this season), but he no longer plays at a high level at all and would not adapt in any way in the modern (and therefore energy-intensive) football of Amorim. He also has no interest in leaving his Saudi cocoon, where his salary would be 200 million euros per year.
