Former Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum was greeted with a hero's welcome as he arrived at Rome airport ahead of completing a temporary switch to Jose Mourinho's side ahead of the new campaign.
The 32-year-old has endured a difficult 12 months since he left Merseyside. Upon the expiration of his contract, he joined Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain but failed to establish himself as a key member of Mauricio Pochettinho's title-winning side last campaign.
The Parisians' supporters also appeared not to take a keen liking to the midfielder. He was voted the league's worst signing of the season during his maiden campaign in the French capital.
