EPL: Ronaldo could return to Man Utd under Amorim, says Sheringham

Cristiano Ronaldo, who left Manchester United amid controversy, may still find the door open for a return to Old Trafford, according to former United striker Teddy Sheringham.

According to a report by Mirror UK, Sheringham believes Ronaldo would be warmly received if he ever wanted to come back, particularly with fellow Portuguese Ruben Amorim set to take over as manager.

Ronaldo’s celebrated return to United in 2021 was initially seen as a dream comeback. However, his time quickly soured, ending after a highly publicised interview with Piers Morgan that led to his departure for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.

Now a major star in Saudi Arabia and the league’s leading scorer, Ronaldo has embraced a new chapter in his career.

Despite the past tensions, Sheringham thinks the arrival of Amorim, who once played alongside Ronaldo for Portugal, could make a return more feasible.

“Cristiano Ronaldo would be very welcome back at Manchester United under Ruben Amorim. But he is onto bigger and better things. I think Ronaldo will follow in the path of David Beckham, doing higher-profile things worldwide rather than coaching,” Sheringham told FlashScore.

While Sheringham sees a potential return as a possibility, he also acknowledges that Ronaldo, at 39, may choose to finish his career elsewhere.

Furthermore, Sheringham does not foresee Ronaldo pursuing a coaching role at Old Trafford.

“I’m sure he’d be very, very welcome in any capacity coming back to the
club, but I doubt that he’ll be a coach,” Sheringham added.
Ronaldo himself has hinted at an aversion to coaching, revealing on his YouTube channel, UR, that he lacks passion for guiding the current generation.“

For me, it will be difficult one day to be a coach because I don’t have a passion for this generation. They don’t take advice from our experience.

They think the phones will give you a good education—TikTok, Instagram,” Ronaldo said.

Instead, Ronaldo is looking forward to focusing on business ventures after his playing career ends.

“I have other things to worry about, another chapter of my life that is business-focused, and I’m excited about it. It will be a challenge for me to learn other areas I don’t know, to be more involved in my business, and I think I will be good at it,” he said.

Published

Former Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has said it does not matter whether his compatriot Victor Osimhen moves to Saudi Arabia now or in the future.

Ighalo, speaking with News Central, claimed that the option of moving to the Middle East would always be available to Osimhen.

“He knows what he wants. We were together two days ago, but we didn’t talk about football; we just had fun,” he said.

“I believe he knows what he wants; he’s grown, he’s worked hard, and if he calls me for a word, I’ll speak from my opinion, but any decision he makes, it’s a win-win for him.

“If he goes to Saudi now, if he doesn’t go until two years later, it doesn’t matter, because last year they came, he didn’t go; they came this year, he’s declined; they’ll still come again.”

Ighalo himself played in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Shabab, Al-Hilal, and Al-Wehda.
