PS: Sir Alex, this one is for you!

Cristiano Ronaldo is already warming up in the Manchester United shirt and can hardly wait to be back on the field at Old Trafford with the number seven. Here is the full story ..

Cristiano Ronaldo, the 36-year-old top striker, is already warming up in his Manchester United Shirt on and can't wait to be back on the field at Old Trafford with the number seven. But how does it come about and what does coach sir have Alex Ferguson to do with it.

Here's a quick recap of Ronaldo's football career and why being back in England is so important to him:

The superstar already shows his football talent in his youngest years. With just 10 years he starts at Nacional Funchal in Madeira Portugal to play and is already getting his first win with his youth team. At the age of twelve, Ronaldo switched to Sporting Lisbon, the largest football club in Portugal.

In 2003 there was a friendship game between Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United, where this youngster started to attract his coach Sir Alex Ferguson with his dribbling, tricks and moves and thus signs a contract with Manchester United in the same summer.

This is where the story really begins:

Ronaldo becomes the successor of David Beckham, who is in the right midfield position with the jersey number „7“ . CR7 was thus born!

After his successful years at the Red Devils, three English championships, an English cup win, a Champions League win and winning the FIFA Club World Cup, the next sensation came up - Next Stop: Real Madrid!

In LaLeage, Ronaldo really let off steam. With four Champions League victories, three FIFA Club World Cups and two Spanish championships, he won the Spanish Cup twice. In addition, he becomes countless times top scorer, Europe's footballer of the year and world footballer. The born CR7 could not win the hearts of the Spanish any better.

Even if CR7 was at the top of his career with Real Madrid the striker is ready for the next challenge and signs with the Italian record champions in summer 2018 Juventus Turin. In Serie A, Ronaldo and his team won the 2020/21 cup, but the superstar could not flourish. At the start of the season at 2-2 in Udine, he sits on the bench until the 59th minute. With an atmosphere like this, it's only a matter of time before the next transfer.

Ronaldo reaches this point in summer of 2021 and the rumors slowly start to boil. Suddenly various medias report that the offensive player is going to change to Manchester City .

Sir Alex

Of course, the United fans in particular are very outraged and shocked, especially Ronaldo, who started his football career with the Red Devils , shouldn't stab the Manchester United fans in the back. Also the close relationship he had with his trainer back then Alex Ferguson who was like a father to him Vater and even made frequent trips to his games in Madrid to watch his favorite boy at the time, Ronaldo would probably find it difficult to pose in the Manchester City shirt in front of him. But on the one hand it's about a lot of money and a new club, on the other hand it's about the honor and pride of returning to where it all started.

The Manchester Derby in 2002 brought an interesting scene. As Gary Neville and Kasper Schmeichel, meet before the game, Schmeichel walks up to Neville to greet his former teammate. However, the warm gesture was rejected by the United player, who made this clear in a podcast after a few years:

You can’t play for Manchester City. I’m a United fan and I can’t play for Manchester City, I can’t play for Leeds [United] and I can’t play for Liverpool. That’s just written in stone. You just don’t play for those clubs, irrespective of what happens.“

In the case of Cristina Ronaldo, the change to England Premier League took a good turn:

Whether the superstar was inspired by a phone call from Sir Alex Ferguson, or whether he himself turned down the offer at Man City: CR7 will be back after twelve years wearing the MANCHESTER UNITED in Old Trafford-Stadion . He will win the hearts of his English fans and make his old boy Sir Alex proud again!
(Nicht verpassen: diesen Samstag um 16:00 Uhr- Manchester United – Newcastle United)

I’m right here!

I’m back where I belong!

Let’s make it happen once again!

– Cristiano Ronaldo
