Cristiano Ronaldo's potential return to Manchester United has reignited the passion of the Red Devils' fans. After a turbulent departure to Al-Nassr, where he was involved in a series of controversies with former United manager Erik ten Hag, the Portuguese star is nearing the end of his contract in Saudi Arabia.
With the arrival of Portuguese coach Rubén Amorim, who previously shared the pitch with Ronaldo for the Portuguese national team, speculation about a possible return of the star to Old Trafford has gained strength. The close relationship between the two and Ronaldo's iconic status at the English club make this hypothesis plausible for many.
Reasons that could lead Ronaldo back:
- Relationship with Amorim: The friendship and understanding between Ronaldo and Amorim could facilitate a negotiation and the player's adaptation to the team.
- Fan favourite: Ronaldo is still much loved by Manchester United fans, who dream of seeing him wear the Red Devils' shirt again.
- Desire to win more trophies: The Portuguese has always shown ambition and a desire for trophies. A return to Manchester United could give him the chance to win more silverware and further enhance his legacy in football.
- Ambitious project: Manchester United, under the leadership of Amorim, could present an ambitious and promising project, capable of attracting a player of Cristiano Ronaldo's caliber.
Challenges to the deal:
- Age: At 39 years old, Ronaldo is no longer the same player he was a few years ago. His age may be a limiting factor for some clubs.
- Salary: Cristiano Ronaldo's high salary could be an obstacle to the negotiation, especially at a time when Manchester United is looking to reduce its wage bill.
- Adaptation: After a spell in Arabian football, Ronaldo would need to adapt again to the intense pace of European football.
