Cristiano Ronaldo stunned the world of football by packing his bags and leaving Juventus with a year left of his deal.

With Sir Alex Ferguson, Bruno Fernandes, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra in his ear it was agreed that Ronaldo would make an emotional homecoming to Old Trafford.
United fan and writer Scott Paterson, of the Republik of Mancunia website, discusses exactly what a Ronaldo return means to the supporters.
