Man Utd players past and present welcome Cristiano Ronaldo return

Manchester United players past and present hailed the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the club as the Portuguese star agreed a deal to go back to Old Trafford.

The 36-year-old is set to make the move from Juventus and become a United player again after leaving for Real Madrid in 2009.

The Premier League club have said the deal was subject to the agreement of personal terms, visa and a medical.

United players took to social media to welcoming Ronaldo back to the club he joined in 2003 and where he spent six successful seasons.

Bruno Fernandes, who reportedly spoke to his Portugal teammate about returning to United, tweeted: "'Agent Bruno'?" alongside emojis of a briefcase and a face with tears of joy. He added: "Welcome back home Cristiano".

United's summer signing Jadon Sancho simply tweeted: "SCARY HOURS!", while Marcus Rashford said: "Wow wow wow, he's home", Jesse Lingard added: "VIVA RONALDOOO!!!!" while Raphael Varane and David De Gea also posted messages.

"What they've done is bolster the squad with a proven goalscorer, a club legend. He will score goals and give them brilliant moments.

"It will give the club an incredible 12 months and United fans are going to be absolutely rocking to see one of their own come back and play."

Neville, who made fun of fellow Sky pundit Jamie Carragher in an Instagram post welcoming back Ronaldo, believes the acquisition could transform United's season after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side slipped up in a 1-1 draw at Southampton last weekend.

"Cristiano will be coming to win trophies, personal accolades and set the Premier League on fire.

"It is a different Cristiano Ronaldo but he's someone who still has those bursts of speed over short spaces that will cause problems.

"He makes great runs inside the box and has the anticipation where the ball is going to drop, so he will give Manchester United something that they need."
