Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham believes Cristiano Ronaldo could potentially return to Old Trafford under the management of Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim. Sheringham shared that Amorim’s possible appointment might create a welcoming environment for Ronaldo, despite his previous controversial departure.
Ronaldo’s return to United in 2021 initially sparked excitement, but his tenure ended dramatically after a revealing interview with Piers Morgan, leading him to move to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Now a key player in the Saudi Pro League and its top scorer, Ronaldo has embarked on a successful chapter overseas.
Sheringham suggested that Amorim’s connection with Ronaldo, from their time together with Portugal’s national team, could ease a comeback if Ronaldo ever desired one. “Cristiano would be very welcome back at Manchester United under Ruben Amorim,” Sheringham told FlashScore. However, he acknowledged that Ronaldo’s career ambitions may now extend beyond football.
At 39, Ronaldo has hinted at a lack of interest in coaching. In a recent YouTube video, he shared his concerns about coaching the new generation, citing their reliance on social media rather than experience. Instead, Ronaldo’s focus lies in his future business ventures, which he views as an exciting new chapter when his playing days are over.
