Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (36) presented himself in his new Manchester United jersey on Wednesday. “Good Morgning, Reds,” writes his club on twitter to a photo of the kicker in the red club shirt.
Emotional return
The Portuguese professional footballer, who last played for Juventus Turin and played for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, previously played for the British club ManUnited from 2003 to 2009. How emotional this return is for himself, he explained on Tuesday on his Instagram account.
“Everyone who knows me knows that I have a never-ending love for Manchester United. The years I have spent at this club have been absolutely fantastic and the path we have come together is in golden letters in the history of this great club and amazing institution, “he begins his passionate post.
“I can’t describe how I feel when I see my return to Old Trafford being announced around the world. It’s like a dream come true after all the times I had to play against United.” said Ronaldo. But even as an opponent he “always felt so much love and respect from the fans in the stands. That is 100 percent the stuff dreams are made of,” enthuses the football star with the number 7 shirt.
Many first times at ManU
As if that weren’t enough, Cristiano Ronaldo also sums up the first few times he has joined the club: “My first national championship, my first cup, my first appointment to the Portuguese national team, my first Champions League, my first golden shoe and my first balloon d’Or, they all grew out of this special bond between me and the Red Devils, “he writes. “I’m back where I belong!”
He closes his post with “PS – Sir Alex, this is for you …” and is aimed at long-time ManUnited coach Sir Alex Ferguson (79), with whom the kicker star had a particularly close relationship.
