5 clubs who could sign Cristiano Ronaldo if money was not a factor

Ronaldo with his 'football father' Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United

It's hard to imagine the last few years of Sir Alex Ferguson without him embracing and motivating a young Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese man signed for the English giants from Sporting Lisbon and immediately grew to become a crowd's favourite winning a UEFA Champions League and multiple domestic titles with the Red Devils.

He still retains a close connection with the club and insists that there might come a time when he might play in the red of Manchester again. Ronaldo also insists that Sir Alex Ferguson – his manager while at United – is like a 'father figure' to him and that love extends to more than just the manager and the club but to the fans as well.

While United might not play with the high-adrenaline counter or direct attacking style Ronaldo is used to at Real Madrid, he'd still sign for the club simply because he adores it too much and that the fans and everyone related to Manchester United would welcome him with open arms.
