The Observer on Sunday are pulling on the heartstrings of Manchester United fans by splashing their backpage with the claim that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to return to Old Trafford in a deal that could happen in 2014.
Daniel Taylor, the excellent journalist for the Observer and the Guardian, has run the story: Cristiano Ronaldo tells Manchester United he is keen on a return to club.
Cristiano Ronaldo has informed Manchester United he would like to return to the club one day, probably to end his career.
[United’s] clear information is that he is open to the idea of moving back to Manchester, albeit not for at least one more season. The expectation at Old Trafford is that he will shortly commit himself to a new contract that recognises his status as Madrid’s outstanding player, despite the impending arrival of Gareth Bale from Spurs for a world-record transfer. However, United are encouraged by the clear messages they have received about his affinity for the club and consider what he says to be genuine.
United are keeping an open mind about when it might or might not happen. The key facts are that they will pursue it and have been informed Ronaldo is keen for it to happen.
