Having left Manchester United in great shape 12 years ago, not long after firing them to a third straight league title, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return to a club that is looking to recapture the glory days.
They say never go back, but United fans had been longing for Ronaldo to rejoin their side for many years, more in forlorn hope than anything else.
Between his Premier League debut in August 2003 and his final appearance in May 2009, only Thierry Henry scored more goals than Ronaldo's tally of 84.The Portuguese scored 15 goals in 52 Champions League appearances for United, including eight during their victorious 2007-08 campaign, netting in the final against Chelsea. Only Ruud van Nistelrooy has ever scored more times in a single Champions League campaign for the club.
Inspiring today's United will present Ronaldo with a very different challenge to when he joined the league champions in 2003. "I was a little bit fearful watching Chelsea last weekend, knowing City are going to be strong, Liverpool have Virgil van Dijk back, that United could improve but finish in a lower position. But this news gives me more hope that they can have a great season."
