It has been 3 years since Cristiano Ronaldo made an dramatic return to Manchester United. He had a great first season personally in his second spell with Red Devils.

Cristiano claimed that United tried to force him out of the club. He said that he felt betrayed. This saw United terminate his contract. Ronaldo then joined Al Nassr in the winter transfer window. Recently, Ronaldo has spoken again about the Premier League giants to Five.
