Cristiano Ronaldo has once again been backed for a possible return to Manchester United, this time in a non-playing role. Several former players believe the Portuguese star could play a big part in rebuilding the club’s image and bringing back its winning mentality.
Former United teammates reportedly said that Ronaldo’s leadership, professionalism, and passion for the club could make him an asset off the field. They believe his experience could guide younger players and strengthen the club’s culture.
Ronaldo, who left Manchester United in 2022 after a controversial second spell, is currently playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Despite his move, his connection to Old Trafford remains strong, and he has often spoken about his love for the club and its fans.
Sports analysts say a return to Manchester United in a mentorship or ambassadorial role could benefit both sides. Ronaldo could help attract global sponsors, improve team discipline, and boost morale within the squad. However, the final decision would depend on the club’s management and ownership.
Ronaldo’s second stint at Manchester United ended on a bitter note after disagreements with club officials. But many believe time has healed those wounds, and a new partnership could bring a positive chapter for both parties.
If the move happens, Ronaldo is not expected to play again but could serve as a sporting advisor or global ambassador. His influence and global appeal would add immense value to the club’s brand.
