Steve McClaren's mystic prediction over Cristiano Ronaldo could make his potential return to the club awkward after the ex- Manchester United assistant claimed the 37-year-old would "make or break" Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign as manager.
The former England manager has already enjoyed one period at Old Trafford when he was second in command to Sir Alex Ferguson from 1999 to 2001. During that time, McClaren helped the Red Devils win their historic Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup treble in what was his first season at the club.
Recent reports have suggested that McClaren could make a comeback as Erik ten Hag's assistant in what would be a role reversal of the 2008/09 campaign. It was that season that saw the pair first work together at FC Twente when McClaren was manager with Ten Hag as his deputy.
