Sir Alex Ferguson rules out Ronaldo return
SIR Alex Ferguson has virtually ruled out any chance of Cristiano Ronaldo going back to Manchester United.
Ronaldo, 26, left Old Trafford for a world record £80million in 2009 to follow his dream of playing for Real Madrid. However, for the second season running they are destined to finish runners-up to Barcelona, while Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat to their fiercest rivals at the Bernabeu means the Catalans should make it through to the Champions League final at Wembley.
But Ferguson, in Madrid for the Champions League semi, said: “It would be very difficult.
“He had a great time with us, but he is at a great club now, too.”
