Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has taken a sensational U-turn on his retirement, as he announced on Monday that he was coming back for his 23rd season.

“That time will come. But it's not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I'm coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa."

“Tampa Tom is back”

After his initial retirement announcement after 22 successful seasons, there were hints that Tom Brady would make a comeback as he kept saying “never say never”.

At the time, the 44-year old said his desire to spend more time with his wife Gisele Bundchen, and three children was the key factor in his decision to retire.

However, something seems to have changed Brady’s mind, and it might have something to do with his trip to Old Trafford on Saturday, March 12.

The three-time NFL season MVP went viral on Saturday after attending Manchester United’s game against Tottenham Hotspur and briefly engaging Cristiano Ronaldo, a player considered the best in football history.

Notably, The Bucs are owned by the Glazer family, who have also owned Manchester United since 2005.

Ronaldo breaks another record

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported of how Cristiano Ronaldo has become football's all-time leading goalscorer for both club and country following his Man United heroics against Tottenham Hotspur.

Ronaldo scored a sensational hat-trick during the Saturday, March 12, encounter to help his side bag the three points and renew their hopes of finishing in the top four.

His treble of goals earned him a place in history books as he became the leading goal scorer in the history of football for both club and country.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has now scored a total of 807 goals in his career, beating Austrian-Czech Josef Bican's record of 805 goals.
