Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken for first time on his return to
Manchester United as the club confirms his transfer.
Ronaldo said he returned to Old Trafford because Manchester
United have always had a special place in his heart.
Early on Tuesday morning, Juventus confirmed that the
Portugal international was moving to the former Premier League champions with
United having agreed to pay €15million (£12.8m) plus €8m (£6.8m) in add-ons,
payable over the course of the next five years.
Manchester United have also confirmed the re-signing of the
36-year-old after 12 years away.
Ronaldo said he is thrilled to be back at the club where he
established himself as one of football’s greatest players.
“Manchester United is a club that have always had a special
place in my heart, and I have been overwhelmed by all the messages I have
received since the announcement on Friday,’ said Ronaldo in an Instagram post.
“I cannot wait to play at Old Trafford in front of a full
stadium and see all the fans again.
“I’m looking forward to joining up with the team after the
international games, and I hope we have a very successful season ahead.”
