Cristiano Ronaldo fever gripped just about everyone last summer when Old Trafford's favourite son returned to Manchester United 12 years after he first left for Real Madrid.
Even ex-Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho was seemingly swept up in all the good feeling as he gave his thoughts on Ronaldo's return after United spent around £20million plus add-ons to bring him back to the club from Juventus. Pressed for comment on the switch, the self-proclaimed 'special one' explained: "It's logical. If Juventus are happy, if Ronaldo is happy and Manchester United are happy, then it's a perfect deal."
Twelve months later and the decision to sign Ronaldo for a second time is looking like anything but the 'perfect deal' from United's perspective, and Mourinho's prediction has left him somewhat red-faced. The 37-year-old is rumoured to be furious with the club's supposed lack of activity in the transfer market, so much so that he has told the hierarchy he wishes to leave this summer.
