Manchester United confirm Cristiano Ronaldo's return | OneFootball

It’s official! Manchester United have confirmed the return of Cristiano Ronaldo on a two-year contract with the option of a further year.

“Manchester United is a club that has always had a special place in my heart, and I have been overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since the announcement on Friday,” Ronaldo told the club’s official website.

“I cannot wait to play at Old Trafford in front of a full stadium and see all the fans again. I’m looking forward to joining up with the team after the international games, and I hope we have a very successful season ahead.”

The 36-year-old five-time Ballon d’Or winner has so far won 30 major trophies in his career and returns to Old Trafford from Juventus having been the top scorer in Serie A last season.

“You run out of words to describe Cristiano,” United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told the club’s official website.

“He is not only a marvellous player, but also a great human being. To have the desire and the ability to play at the top level for such a long period requires a very special person. I have no doubt that he will continue to impress us all and his experience will be so vital for the younger players in the squad.

“Ronaldo’s return demonstrates the unique appeal of this club and I am absolutely delighted he is coming home to where it all started.”
