Former Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson who visited Spain last week and had a dinner with Cristiano Ronaldo has persuaded him to return to Old Trafford, Daily Sun reports.

The Portuguese’s team’s lacklustre form has left him really unhappy and this could tempt him to make a move to the English club. The Real Madrid star who was filmed telling a teammate the performances have been really embarrassing also vowed not to speak to the media till the season ends.

Red Devil boss, Louis Van Gaal reportedly contacted his manager Jorge Mendes about a week ago over a potential £71.1m move to England.
