There\u2019s no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is still deeply loved by the Old Trafford faithful, thanks to his unforgettable six-year spell with the Red Devils between 2003-2009, as there hasn\u2019t been a year that\u2019s gone by since 2009 where Manchester United fans haven\u2019t pined for the Portuguese superstar\u2019s return.<\/p>\n
Ronaldo blazed a glorious trail scoring 118 goals in 292 games for United, winning three Premier League titles, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League in the process. And let\u2019s not forget he also won the first of his five Ballon d\u2019Or awards in 2008 during his tenure at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese superstar, soon to be 35 in February, is still one of the world\u2019s most adored footballers, with the legendary forward having scored 10 goals and registered one assist in nine appearances for Juventus this season.<\/p>\n
However, not to anyone\u2019s surprise, reports in recent weeks have surfaced that Juve are planning to offload Ronaldo at the end of the season in the hope of recouping most of the \u00a3100 million they paid Real Madrid\u00a0in 2018 as the Italian outfit no longer feel they can justify his mammoth \u00a0\u00a328 million-per-season salary due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, according to Sport.<\/p>\n
This being Ronaldo we\u2019re talking about, several top clubs would, of course, be interested in signing the superstar next summer, provided that the numbers compute.<\/p>\n
United could well be one of them and it appears that the Premier League club could receive a much-needed helping hand from their sponsors Chevrolet in order to finance a potential transfer.<\/p>\n
According to Auto Esporte \u2013 per The Sun\u00a0– Chevrolet, United\u2019s shirt sponsors since 2014, are optimistic it would be in their best interests to bring the Portuguese back to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
From a commercial perspective, the American automobile giant – the shirt sponsor of Ronaldo\u2019s current employers, Juventus – has seen the positive impact that Ronaldo has had on Jeep\u2019s sales over the past two years.<\/p>\n
The reports add that Chevrolet also noticed how Juve\u2019s shares rose 30 per cent on the Milan stock exchange a week after Ronaldo\u2019s arrival in July 2018.<\/p>\n
