Juventus hero Giorgio Chiellini foresaw Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Serie A last summer and his words can serve as welcome advice to Manchester United and Erik ten Hag regarding their five-time Ballon d'Or winner and his much-talked-about future at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo, 37, made his name in the Premier League between 2003 and 2009 before taking his iconic career to even greater heights in 12 years with Real Madrid and Juventus combined. He then completed a sensational return move to the place where it all began on a global scale last summer.
United pulled out all the stops to re-sign Ronaldo and, while he might not be the player he was, there was enough in the tank for him to score 24 goals in all competitions last season. Ronaldo was a rare shining light in what turned out to be a dismal campaign for all concerned.
