RONALDO: ‘SIR ALEX,THIS ONE IS FOR YOU’

Cristiano Ronaldo has dedicated his Manchester United return to the club’s former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ronaldo, who has signed a two-year deal at Old Trafford, first emerged as a global star at the Premier League club, where he spent six years under Ferguson before joining Real Madrid in 2009.

Soon after completing his £12.86m move back, the 36-year-old signed off a message on Instagram by saying: “PS – Sir Alex, this one is for you...”

Ronaldo spoke of his “never ending love” for United and that he was “back where I belong”.

Ronaldo added: “I’m right here! I’m back where I belong! Let’s make it happen once again! PS - Sir Alex, this one is for you...”

The move – a highlight of the transfer window which closed last night – was teed up on Friday and rubber-stamped just after 9.30am.

Juventus said United had agreed to pay £12.86 million for their former forward, with the deal potentially rising by a further £6.86m, and the Red Devils soon said he had signed a two-year contract with the option for a third.

The five-time world player of the year is returning 12 years after leaving for Real Madrid.

Juventus have moved quickly to replace Ronaldo, bringing in Everton’s Moise Kean on a two-year loan, which will be turned into a permanent deal subject to certain conditions being met, with a loan fee of 7m euros being paid to Everton.

Meanwhile, the Toffees replaced Kean by bringing Salomon Rondon back to the Premier League from Chinese club Dalian Professional on a free transfer. The striker has signed a two-year contract with the option for a third season and the move sees him reunited with manager Rafael Benitez, who he worked under at Newcastle.
