Man United news: Former Real Madrid boss says ‘Cristiano Ronaldo wants to go back to Manchester United and play for Jose Mourinho’


CRISTIANO RONALDO wants to return to Manchester United and play under Jose Mourinho again, according to ex-Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello.

Ronaldo, 33, promised to clarify his plans in “the next few days” before telling Real supporters during the trophy parade he would see them “next year”.

United and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with the striker – although the legend’s mother has said she would prefer her son to go back to the Premier League.

And now Capello, who was in charge of England for four years, believes a romantic return to Old Trafford could potentially be on the cards this summer.

The 71-year-old told Sky Sport Italia: “I think that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to go back to Manchester, to play for United and being coached by his compatriot Mourinho.”

Following the 3-1 victory over Liverpool, the five-time Ballon d’Or-winner plunged his future into doubt by saying: “It’s been very nice playing for Real Madrid.”

The comments came as a huge shock to football fans across the world and are understood to have infuriated the club’s hierarchy.
