In a turbulent 24 hours, Ronaldo chooses to rejoin United, not before flirting with the idea of joining rivals Manchester City

Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to return to his former club Manchester United after a dramatic Juventus exit.

It wasn’t always looking this way, however. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was reportedly on the verge of signing with United's rivals, Manchester City.

But with City backing out and a little persuasion from some former United players, Ronaldo will be going back to the club where it all began.

The 36-year-old sensation is set to join up with former teammate and current Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjær.

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe’s future is still in doubt.

Real Madrid has made a second bid of €170 million for the Frenchman after their opening offer was refected by Paris Saint-Germain.

Real have been linked with the player for a long time and look to be doing everything possible to sign the 22-year-old forward.

However, with only a few days left in the transfer window, a January move has been mooted.
