How Ferguson convinced Ronaldo to return Man Utd

Meanwhile, details of how Cristiano Ronaldo dumped his move for Manchester City to return to Manchester United have emerged following a call from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ronaldo will face Pep Guardiola’s side on Saturday, but it could have been the other way round as the blue half of Manchester almost landed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

It seems unimaginable that Ronaldo would be playing against the Red Devils, but that almost happened until Ferguson had to wade in.

A report via Daily Star claims City had already agreed a £25 million deal with Juventus for the Portuguese and he was on the brink of moving to the Etihad Stadium.

But United were also making underground moves as vice-chairman Ed Woodward and commercial director Richard Arnold were given the green light from the club owners and went to work to finally re-sign Ronaldo at the fourth attempt.

Georgina took time out on Sunday afternoon with three of the kids to watch the 11-year-old who is becoming a football sensation.

Cristiano Jr. left Italian club Juventus to join Manchester United academy following his father’s blockbuster switch to England from the Italian club.
