Portugal international winger Cristiano Ronaldo has refused to rule out the prospect of returning to Manchester United one day.

The 25-year-old, who will hope to be one of the stars on display at this summer’s World Cup finals in South Africa (Portugal 14/1 Top European Team), left Old Trafford for Real Madrid last summer.

The Spanish giants paid a world record fee of £80m for the 25-year-old but Ronaldo, who spent six years with the Red Devils, has admitted he might not see his career out at the Bernabeu.

He told the News of the World: “I am still interested in watching Manchester United and, you never know, maybe in the future I could return to play there.

“It’s always possible. I want to fulfil my contract here but, in the future, only God knows.

“I will not say I am not happy here at Real Madrid.

“I am really happy and everyone knows this is my club but, of course, I miss Manchester United, the boss, the players, because I left family there.”

Ronaldo won the Premier League three times during his time with United as well as the Champions League and FA Cup, among other honours.
