Cristiano Ronaldo has made a huge return to his former club, Manchester United. He confirmed his return to the club on Tuesday in a heartfelt post by saying that "it's like a dream come true". His message to the fans was filled with adrenaline and hope for Manchester United, who have been struggling as a club since 2013, the time when United's long-standing manager, Sir Alex Ferguson left.
Ronaldo, making his return to the club after 12 years writes, 'Sir Alex, This is for you' and signifies the importance the legendary United manager still has on the decision-making at the club.
"Everyone who knows me, knows about my never ending love for Manchester United. The years I spent in this club where absolutely amazing and the path we’ve made together is written in gold letters in the history of this great and amazing institution," writes Cristiano.
The 5-time Ballon d'Or winner, a legend of the game, who has achieved perhaps everything that a football player could possibly achieve, has come back to his "home". This is where he won his first domestic League, his first Cup, the first call to the Portuguese National team, first Champions League, first Golden Boot, and first Ballon d’Or as well.
Manchester United released the first pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo in a 2021-22 United jersey:
"History has been written in the past and history will be written once again! You have my word!" - Cristiano exclaims.
"I’m back where I belong! Let’s make it happen once again!" - Ronaldo says this and leaves his fans in waiting for 11 September, when the Portuguese would make his Manchester United return.
