The former Red Devils defender believes the work
his club have done in the market this summer
could help attract the Real Madrid superstar bac
to Old Trafford
Gary Neville believes Manchester United 's summ
transfer splurge means the prospect of Cristiano
Ronaldo making a return to Old Trafford is "more
possible".
Ronaldo is reportedly unhappy at Real Madrid,
with the club's decision to sell both Angel Di
Maria and Xabi Alonso believed to be among the
biggest causes of his frustration.
Rumours have subsequently resurfaced of a
possible return to United, who spent over €180
million to recruit Di Maria, Ander Herrera, Luke
Shaw, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo and Radamel
Falcao in a bid to make an instant return to the
Premier League's top four.
And former United defender Neville admits the
Red Devils are now close to being in a position t
attract Ronaldo back to Old Trafford.
"You'd have to say that with what they've done
with Di Maria and Falcao it's more possible, it
has to be, because they've shown the real intent
to go and sign world-class players," Neville said
on Sky Sports ' 'Monday Night Football'.
"We sat here three or four months ago
deliberating over whether Manchester United coul
attract world-class talent. They've absolutely
smashed that question out of the water and if
they get him...
"There was talk last summer that it was either
going to be Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale and
there are rumours of Cristiano not being happy in
Madrid.
"Obviously last year they won the Champions
League, so has he achieved what he wanted to
achieve in Madrid? Has he done what he set out
to do? That's question one.
"Does he love Manchester? Does he love United?
Yes, absolutely. He has talked more and more in
the last 12 to 18 months about how he misses
Old Trafford.
"The reception he got there and the way the fans
reacted towards him, I've not seen that for many
players. Eric Cantona and him were incredible
reactions from the fans every single week.
"It was almost like an incredible belief in the
stadium every time he played."
