Manchester United transfer news: Cristiano Ronaldo latest as Man Utd face Stoke in friendly

-


 

Manchester United's transfer deadline saw the club make Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer from Juventus official.

As expected, United announced the signing Ronaldo on a two-year contract, with the option of an additional year and the 36-year-old rejoins the club he spent six years with 12 years after leaving for Real Madrid - the fee is an initial €15million, rising to €23m.

"Manchester United is a club that has always had a special place in my heart, and I have been overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since the announcement on Friday," Ronaldo said.

"I cannot wait to play at Old Trafford in front of a full stadium and see all the fans again. I'm looking forward to joining up with the team after the international games, and I hope we have a very successful season ahead.”

Cristiano Ronaldo also revealed that legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson was the main reason behind his sensational return to Old Trafford this summer.

Elsewhere, Daniel James completed a £25million move to Leeds from United. The Wales international was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first permanent signing as United manager but he's now left the club after two years amid a fret of limited playing time.

James, 23, was earmarked for a first-team role this season but reconsidered his future following last week's shock return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Old Trafford - Leeds have held a long-standing interest in the player.


"Well, as you know, I have a fantastic history with this amazing club. I was there at 18 years old and of course I’m so happy to be back home after 12 years. So I’m really glad and looking forward to start my first game.”
