This all came after reports surfaced of Manchester City pulling out of the race for Ronaldo, who is a five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or. It has been a whirlwind of a week for Ronaldo's camp, and the reunion with Manchester United is certainly going to be a huge move for both sides.
So, Manchester City pulls out of the race and then Manchester United swoops in and has agreed to bring back Ronaldo in what has been a shocking turn of events. The reunion comes 12 years after Ronaldo was sold to Real Madrid, and things moved rather quickly for both parties to come to an agreement.
Get ready, as it should be an eventful campaign with Cristiano Ronaldo once again rocking the Manchester United threads.
