If Ed Woodward ever needed a come-and-get-me plea from Cristiano Ronaldo, this could be it. The Real Madrid superstar had been linked with a return to the Red Devils throughout the summer, and has been caught on camera hinting at it.
The Portugal captain’s rumored reason for wanting out of La Liga is his tax evasion allegations. The four-time Ballon d’Or winner has been accused of defrauding the Spanish government of £13.1m in taxes, something the 32-year-old strongly denies.
A video has now emerged of Ronaldo in court talking to the Spanish authorities. In the video uploaded by YouTube channel Cracks, the Blancos ace stops himself from admitting to wanting a return to the Premier League.
“I didn’t hide anything and don’t even know what I am doing here,” Cristiano said.
The Real Madrid star was later asked: “Did you have any problems?” His response: “I never had any problems in England. Never.
“That’s why… no I’m not going to say that I’d like to go back to England.”
He continued to say: “If there are any problems, pay more to Spain. I don’t want any problems
“I want to be left alone, let me concentrate on playing football.
“Wherever I go I always pay whatever I need to pay.
“I always tell them ‘we must pay because the truth always comes out.'”
Although Cristiano is showing signs of aging, the Portuguese player is still adored at Old Trafford. The feeling is mutual; the only thing left is for Man United to test Real Madrid’s resolve with a worthy offer.
