Ronaldo's mother prefers Man Utd return over PSG move as Ronaldo transfer saga continues

Will the Portuguese forward follow the advice of his family as Ronaldo hinted a summer switch away from the Spanish capital?

Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted at a summer move away from Real Madrid and his mother would prefer a return to Manchester United over a switch to Paris Saint-Germain.

Having help Madrid to a third victory in getting the Champions League crown, the Portuguese went on to refer to his time at the Santiago Bernabeu in the past tense.

Transfer saga immediately sparked, with Ronaldo offering different messages regarding his future since then to keep the rumour saga ticking.

Few clubs would be willing to put a deal in place were the exit doors to be opened in Spain, with only those with the deepest pockets capable of pulling off such a coup.

United and PSG would form part of that exclusive club and Dolores Aveiro, the Portuguese mother has suggested to her son that a second time at Old Trafford should be taken in if he really does want a new challenge.

She told SFR Sport prior to Ronaldo’s exit hint in Kiev: “I like Paris. I go there now and again.

“The last time was with my son when he won the Ballon D'Or. I felt very proud.

“Every time I go to Paris, everyone treats me very well.

“If I'm telling you the truth, I wouldn't mind, but I would prefer him to return to Manchester.”

Ronaldo told reporters after helping Madrid to a 3-1 victory over Liverpool when quizzed on where he will be for the 2018-19 campaign: “Money is not the problem.

“I have won five Champions Leagues and five Ballons d'Or. I had already made history, but now even more.

“I cannot guarantee anything. I'm not going to hide, in the next few days I'll talk... Life is not just about glory.”

A day later, as the Blancos paraded their Champions League crown through the streets of Madrid, Ronaldo appeared to have performed a U-turn as he told revellers: “It's a happy moment and we are very happy, too. Hala Madrid and nothing else!

“Thank you, guys. Until next year...”

Ronaldo’s Madrid team-mate Gareth Bale also revealed after claiming another major title that he will be weighing up his options this summer, with the Wales international another of those to have been linked with a move to United for some time.

Neither star turn has made a decision as yet, though, so the rumours appear set to rumble on until a definitive statement is made or a big-money bid tabled.
