Ronaldo could re-join United, says Ramon Calderon

Cristiano Ronaldo has become increasingly frustrated with life at Real Madrid, and could be interested in a sensational move back to Manchester United, according to the European champions’ former president Ramon Calderon.

‘When he came [to Real Madrid] with [Arjen] Robben he thought he would be a good colleague for him in the team [but then he was sold].

‘[Gonzalo] Higuain was sold and he didn’t like that. Last year he thought it was a mistake to let [Mesut] Ozil leave and the last straw was selling Xabi Alonso and Angel di Maria this summer.’

United are reportedly planning a spectacular offer to lure Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, and Calderon believes a return to Manchester is a distinct possibility.

Calderon added: ‘When I signed him in 2009, I remember he said he was grateful to Manchester United.

‘He had a marvellous time there, he likes everything. It is a really great club.’

The former United star wants a staggering £500,000-a-week though if he is to re-join his old club.

He spent six years at Old Trafford before making a world-record £80million move to Real.

For the moment, however, he will look to start Los Blancos’ Champions League defence with a win over Basle at the Bernabeu tonight.
