THE RETURN OF THE KING

 In the summer of 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United to join Spanish Giants Real Madrid on a record transfer fee. After playing for 9 seasons in the Los Blancos jersey, Ronaldo moved to Turin. In Juventus F.C., Ronaldo won a couple of league titles but in the Champions League the team's performance was dismal. Furthermore in the 2020-21 season, Juventus lost the domestic title to their rivals Inter Milan. It was now quite certain that Ronaldo will leave Juventus. But, which club will he join was the question.

 PSG signed Messi in August 2021 and there were also rumors that they can sign Ronaldo. However in the last week of August, Manchester City became one of the favorites to sign Ronaldo. There were talks between Ronaldo's agent and the officials of Manchester City. But, eventually Manchester United succeeded in signing Ronaldo. Ronaldo was back to Old Trafford after 12 long years.

Everyone were excited for his second debut. And it became a debut to remember. Ronaldo scored a brace in his second debut against Newcastle at Old Trafford and the Red Devils won the game 4-1. The crowd was shouting Cristiano's name and Sir Alex looked at him like a proud father.

With this win, United are currently at the top of the table. Will this be United's year?  Will they lift the Premier League trophy after 9 years? The answer lies in the womb of time.
