Ronaldo's departure in 2022 and his controversial interview with Piers Morgan created tension between him and the club.

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has ignited speculation about a potential return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Old Trafford.

Saha believes that the close relationship between Ronaldo and the new Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, could pave the way for a sensational comeback.

While acknowledging the complexities of such a move, given Ronaldo's previous departure and the club's current situation, Saha suggests that the Portuguese superstar might be open to a return if it aligns with his ambitions.

"I do think Cristiano Ronaldo would love to return to the club in a role where he's respected. He left the club on somewhat bad terms, so the club's hierarchy may not want it to happen, but the players and the fans understood what he was trying to say. People can't say that what he was saying was wrong.

"Cristiano does have a connection with Ruben Amorim, but I don't believe he would sign him purely because he's his friend. He wouldn't sign him just to please him, he would only do it if he believes Cristiano can help.

"If there was an opportunity to come back, I'm sure Cristiano would love to return and help the club because he will love the challenge. If he has the chance, he will come," Saha told Betfred.

Ronaldo's previous stints at Manchester United were marked by success, and his iconic status at the club remains undiminished.

However, his departure in 2022, coupled with his controversial interview with Piers Morgan, created big tension between the player and the club.
