A nostalgic feeling is in the air around Manchester with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to the club after 12 years. Man United fans are absolutely buzzing along with many players in the squad, who believe the Portuguese international could be the missing piece to the puzzle. Paul Pogba finally spoke on the Ronaldo reunion, making it clear that it will be a huge benefit to everyone. Via Telefoot:
“It’s always a pleasure to play with the best, it’s a plus for the players to be able to train with a great player. He’s going to raise the level of the team.”
While Pogba never actually played with Ronaldo at Man United, he’s aware of what the 36-year-old is capable of. Cristiano bagged 118 goals in 292 appearances for the Red Devils from 2003 to 2009, becoming one of the best players to ever wear the shirt.
Pogba meanwhile is heading into the final year of his current contract with the Premier League giants, but the rumors are swirling that he could be on his way to either Real Madrid or Juventus next summer. However, if Man United is able to live up to expectations and win trophies this season, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Frenchman put pen to paper on a new deal.
As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he is likely to make his second United debut on Saturday against Newcastle at Old Trafford. It will be interesting to see if he can be his same clinical self in England again.
