Viva Ronaldo rings out around Molineux after Man Utd sign Portuguese star

Fans will have to wait at least another 13 days before welcoming the 36-year-old back in person, with the Old Trafford clash against Newcastle on 11 September our first game after the international break.

The thought of Ronaldo wearing red on that hallowed turf again sends shivers down the spine, and even manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is tantalised by the prospect, assuming all the necessary paperwork is completed.

“Hopefully Cristiano can come in and show what he’s done in his career,” Ole said prior to the game.

“He’s a more experienced player than when he was here last time. He’s evolved and had an unbelievable career.

“All the talk about how he’s too old – just make it personal and he’ll show what he can do.”
