Cristiano Ronaldo has backed former club Manchester United to win the Premier League under Louis van Gaal this season.
The Real Madrid star, who spent six successful years at Old Trafford, believes United have improved this term and he remains a supporter of the club.
But he said nothing of reports he could be set for a sensational move back to United with claims that both previous manager David Moyes and current incumbent van Gaal would be prepared to sanction the move, while French outfit PSG have been continually linked with a sensational £100m deal.
Earlier this week Sky Sports Spanish football expert Guillem Balague claimed in his new biography on the player that the Portuguese forward dreams of a return to Old Trafford although a move would not make sense for all parties.
Ronaldo signed a new contract with Real Madrid in September 2013 and his agent, Jorge Mendes, believes he will finish his career at Real.
“Manchester is good this year. They are better. They are at the top so it’s good and it’s a club I like, everyone knows that,” said Ronaldo.
“What I expect is that Manchester can be champions in England. With Van Gaal, with all the players and staff, I wish them all the best.”
But Mendes said: “He’s happy in Real Madrid. There is lots of speculation and a new story every day, but if you ask me I would say Cristiano will finish his career with Real Madrid and be there for many, many years.”
Ronaldo was speaking at the launch of a new movie about his career – Ronaldo – and he spoke at length about his duel with Lionel Messi to be the world’s best player.
