Reports: Manchester United sponsors want Cristiano Ronaldo transfer next summer

According to reports, Manchester United's shirt sponsors Chevrolet are plotting Cristiano Ronaldo’s sensational return to Old Trafford. The Portuguese left the Red Devils in 2009 after spending six seasons at the Theatre of Dreams.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s time at Manchester United coincided with one of the most successful spells in the club’s history. The Portuguese won countless trophies and left the club with 118 goals from 292 appearances. The nervy teenager who arrived at the club went on to become one of the greatest athletes in the world.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s meteoric rise continued after he moved to the La Liga. While he was lethal at Manchester United, he became unstoppable during his time at Real Madrid. The Portuguese spent a glorious decade with the Spanish giants before leaving for Turin in the summer of 2018.

Ronaldo instantly became a key figure for Juventus, with his age-defying performances mesmerizing football fans in Italy and around the world.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest-paid footballer at Turin and presently earns €31m a year at Juventus. With news of his imminent departure doing the rounds, Manchester United have been linked with the player once again.

It appears that club sponsors Chevrolet are also warming up to the idea of Cristiano Ronaldo rolling back the years at Old Trafford. The American car manufacturers are particularly enticed by the steep rise of Juventus' shirt sponsors Jeep after Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Turin.

Chevrolet are hoping that the Portuguese’s arrival at Manchester United could have a similar impact on their fortunes. The automobile giants are said to be ready to help the Red Devils bring their prodigal son home.
