Former Manchester United man Gary Pallister believes Cristiano Ronaldo could sensationally return to Old Trafford this summer.
Juventus' have endured a woeful campaign, with the Serie A giants at risk of missing out on Champions League qualification and questions have been asked about Ronaldo's future.
The Portugal superstar is set to enter the final year of the four-year agreement he signed following his move from Real Madrid in 2018 but a departure before that date has been muted.
While Ronaldo, now 36, would command mammoth wages and a transfer fee, Pallister believes he could shine once again in the Premier League.
"I could see him coming back. He had a great time at Old Trafford, and coming back here would suit Cristiano with Juve struggling with Champions League qualification," he told Compare.bet.
“He didn’t have issues here the first time round under the leadership of Sir Alex, and you can see that he still looks after himself and has that hunger.
“He still wants to compete at the top level and play Champions League football, and if he comes to United you have to find a place for Cristiano Ronaldo.
“He’s a magnificent player and still has that hunger to prove himself as the best player that’s ever walked this planet.
“I think he’s on record as wanting to play until he’s 40 – sometimes when you’re bringing a player back to a club you worry about the hunger and desire if it’s something seen as more of a final payday.
“You see the way he talks and trains, he’s still keen and can be one of the best players in the world at United.”
