Ronaldo has passed his medical in Lisbon over the weekend and United confirmed he has signed a two-year contract, with the option of a third.
He went on to say he wants success and thanked all of the fans for the messages of support he has received.
United, and even as an opponent, to have always felt such love and respect from the supporters in the stands. History has been written in the past and history will be written once again! You have my word! PS — Sir Alex, this one is for you.
He spent the last three seasons at Serie A side Juventus, where he scored goals in games all competitions and won two Serie A titles and one Italian Cup. It became clear in recent days that Ronaldo was ready to leave Juventus as more substantial reports of various transfer possibilities were reported. There are few players, Ronaldo included who decide where they are going to play. There are many things that are far away. Bruno has been talking to him as well and he knows what we feel about him.
I was fortunate enough to play with him. No player in Serie A scored so many goals from inside that six-yard box last season. As for his team-mates, some will be wondering whether he stifles rather than inspires on the pitch. At Juventus, even as he plundered, the team's goal return was actually lower in each of his three seasons there than it had been in the one prior to his arrival. Despite doing his best work inside the box these days, Ronaldo also still gravitates towards that left flank, looking to cut inside from there.
Given that Martial and Rashford favour that zone and Sancho started there on his full debut, difficult decisions must be made. Ronaldo's dedication to his profession remains fierce, showing total commitment to making himself the best that he can be. The hope is that this will help to create a winning culture among a squad that looked a little light on trophies before Ronaldo and Varane signed. The dressing room demographic changes and the mood with it. Even the involvement of Sir Alex Ferguson in persuading Ronaldo to return harks back to United's golden age.
Nostalgia is an unavoidable part of all this at a club steeped in tradition even as it looks to the future. It will be everywhere against Newcastle. How good does Ronaldo need to be to justify that excitement? Even at a mere fraction of his former powers it should be enough to make a difference. After all, he does not need to be better than the Ronaldo of old. The bar is set much lower than that.
It is Martial and his insipid performance in the draw at Southampton. It is Daniel James, all energy and little finesse as the team laboured against Wolves.
