Manchester United have confirmed that they have reached an agreement to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo will return to Old Trafford after it was confirmed on Friday he will be leaving Juventus after three years in Italy.
Ronaldo became a household name during his first stint in Manchester, where he registered 118 goals in 292 appearances for the club.
The Red Devils confirmed on Friday night that Ronaldo will return to Old Trafford subject to the agreement of personal terms, a visa, and a successful medical, none of which are expected to be a problem.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner will rejoin the club 12 years after departing for Real Madrid, having scored 118 goals in 292 games across six years in his previous spell.
United’s statement insisted that ‘everyone at the club looks forward to welcoming Cristiano back to Manchester’ but refused to reveal what shirt number the Portugal captain will take at the club.
“Manchester United is delighted to confirm that the club has reached an agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical,” a statement on the club’s official website read.
