The Real Madrid man has long been linked with a return to his former club but Ferguson’s retirement may well hinder the chances of any potential move.
One of the longest lasting transfer sagas of the previous decade came to an end as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 finally completed a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid in the summer of 2009.
The transfer saga had long lasted after Ronaldo burst on to the stages at the greatest level with some scintillating performances for the Red Devils, season after season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 had been signed from Portuguese Club Sporting Lisbon in the summer of 2004, for a fee reported to be in the region of 13 million Euros and the bargain signing paid off as the Portuguese went on to become the best player on the planet with the Old
Trafford based outfit.
Ronaldo has always been loved at Manchester United and the love still runs deep in to the veins of the English Champions’ fans, having given him a beautiful reception when he came on to face his former club with Real Madrid, in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions
League this season.
The winger scored in both the legs of the tie, one a mesmerising header past http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463 at Santiago Bernabeu and another crucial game winner at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo refused to celebrate both the goals and it was hinted that his heart may be set for a return to his former club as things at Real Madrid were not going as smooth as expected.
However, any chances of Ronaldo coming back to his boy-hood club may have been dealt a serious blow as Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson, today, announced his retirement from the Old Trafford based outfit after 26 years of service and dedication.
“The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly. It is the right time.
“It was important to me to leave an organization in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so. The quality of this league winning squad, and the balance of ages within it, bodes well for continued success at the highest level whilst the structure
of the youth setup will ensure that the long-term future of the club remains a bright one.”
A huge portion of fans and football lovers now are admitting that Ronaldo may not consider a return to Manchester United as sir Alex Ferguson’s absence is not what he would have seen as the perfect picture of the story.
