Cristiano Ronaldo was on the receiving end of some tax fraud allegations in the summer. In fact, the Portuguese superstar was even willing to quit Spain because of these allegations. Even though, he chose to stay with Los Blancos at the end.
However, the rumours of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid have erupted again it seems. According to Spanish news outlet, Diario Gol, the Portuguese international is demanding a bumper contract extension at Real Madrid. Ronaldo has even threatened to quit the Spanish giants if they don’t meet his contract requirements and move back to his beloved Manchester United.
In fact, Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has spoken with the representatives of both the clubs and informed Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, about United’s transfer bid for the Portuguese forward. Although the Real president didn’t take the bid seriously enough, he might as well be forced to let Real Madrid’s most prized asset leave to Manchester United next summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo coming back to the Premier League could be huge, not just for Manchester United but for the Premier League as well. Fans will once again be able to witness their star playing in the Premier League.
But most importantly, it is Manchester United, who will be largely benefitted by the arrival of the Portuguese forward. Although we may not see Zlatan and Ronaldo lining up in the same team or even Wayne Rooney for that matter, Ronaldo’s presence will make a huge difference.
The 32-year-old can either partner alongside Romelu Lukaku or play on the wings. The former is highly unlikely considering Mourinho’s lack of faith in a two-man forward line.
The Red Devils have suffered due to the lack of wingers in the team, after the departure of Memphis Depay and Angel Di Maria. Cristiano can easily fill in as the left-sided winger, partnering alongside Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku and either of Juan Mata or Jesse Lingard on the offensive front.
Jose Mourinho’s side will be massive aided by the goal-scoring prowess of Cristiano Ronaldo, coupled with his overall brilliance throughout the pitch. With Anthony Martial being expected to leave Old Trafford next summer, it would clear up the way for the Portuguese International. Most importantly, it could catapult United’s claim for the league title.
However, there are a number of suspicions as well regarding the possibilities of his projected move to Old Trafford. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez feels confident of keeping their star player at the Bernabeu for the coming years and considering the power the Spanish champions have got, it won’t be easy to lure Cristiano Ronaldo back to the Premier League.
