The news on the return of Cristiano Ronaldo broke the internet on Friday evening. The Portuguese international cancelled rumors of his desire to leave with an Instagram comment – “Sunday the king returns”.

The 37-year-old has not been involved with Manchester United due to “family reasons”. Sources however suggested that the no.7 has requested to leave Old Trafford until he confirmed otherwise, United Radar understands.

Manchester United is facing Atletico Madrid this afternoon before going head-to-head with Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. Ronaldo will feature in this moth-watering fixture at Old Trafford.
