CRISTIANO Ronaldo does expect a warm welcome from Manchester supporters even after a summer of speculation linking him with Spanish giant Real Madrid.

Ronaldo, who could return from an ankle injury in time for this week’s Champions League opener against Villarreal, has no concerns about Reds following.

“When I put on the shirt, I give it my all,” he told The Sun.

“I’m already in the history of the club. When I play the fans will love me again.”

Ronaldo also absolutely denied there is any chance of him to move to newly-rich Manchester City in the future after claims they would pay £135million for him.

“No way do I see myself in the shirt of another Manchester team,” he said.

“I didn’t realise I was worth that much!”

Ronaldo is looking for a good comeback and hoping to score a goal in tomorrow game to cheer up the fans.

Will you welcome Ronaldo?

Former French international legend Zinedine Zidane has backed Cristiano Ronaldo to be the best player in the world for years to come. Zidane, who was awarded the Fifa World Player of the Year on three separate occasions, has backed Ronaldo to pick up the first of his this year for his 42-goal return last season with United.

“Cristiano Ronaldo is in a good position to win it,” Zidane is quoted by Setanta Sports as saying.

“Then, it’s a question of feeling. When I was playing, some preferred Zidane to Ronaldo and vice-versa… As far as I’m concerned, Cristiano Ronaldo has an edge regarding the whole season,” he concluded.

Ronaldo, who was just rewarded with the Uefa Player of the Year, is training hard these days to help United to win the double and the Fa Cup. Cristiano sets to be back to action at the end of this month.

We hope Ronaldo comeback will add back the magic to United squad.

Manchester United super star Cristiano Ronaldo believes he can play football again by the start of October, three to six weeks ahead of expected schedule. The Portuguese winger who named as the best player in Europe by UEFA did ankle surgery in July and initial forecasts were that he could be out of action until late October and November.

But Ronaldo has started jogging and he is making good progress. Ronaldo believes that his age is helping him and he is looking forward to be back and help Sir Alex’s squad in their campaign to retain the Premiership and the Champions League.

“I am feeling fine. I am feeling really good and my recovery is going well,” the 23-year-old said.
“I am more than happy with my progress and I hope to be back playing for United by the end of September - that is my target and it is a realistic one.
“It has been frustrating to miss the start of the Premier League season but I am pleased with my rehabilitation and, hopefully, I’ll be ready soon.”
