Cristiano Ronaldo caused a wave of speculation online after his private jet was spotted on the runway on Manchester Airport.
Decorated with the CR7 logo of the player and a silhouette of his iconic goal celebration, the Bombardier Global Express 6500 Jet enjoyed the city of Ronaldo enjoyed two stints as a player.
The arrival was unveiled in a post from the X account of the airport, accompanied by a love hearts and eyes emoji on Friday.
It is not immediately clear whether Ronaldo was present when his jet arrived in the city in which he enjoyed so much success.
It seems unlikely in view of the Al-Nassr captain the 3-2 victory of the Saudi Pro League side on Al-Ahli started on Thursday, before being replaced late in the second half.
Ronaldo is also expected to be in action when Al-Nassr travels to the Iranian capital of Tehran to combat Persepolis FC in their last AFC Champions League Group-phase match on Monday.
The news led a number of United fans on social media to call Ronaldo to return for a third Stint at the club.
One wrote: “I hope he comes to buy Man United.” While the other added: “He comes for the last dance.”
A third agreed: 'Hopefully he will come to buy the club, he has more money the Sir Jim & The Glazers'
After a hugely successful first enchantment at Old Trafford who saw him win the first of his five balloon d'Ors in 2008, Ronaldo returned to United in 2021 during the reign of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the club.
Despite receiving a hero of welcome to his return, Ronaldo's second enchantment at Old Trafford would eventually come to a bitter end.
After an audience had a fight with Erik ten Hag, Ronaldo made a number of explosive claims in a TV interview that led to United terminated his contract.
Despite the bitter nature of his departure, Ronaldo threw himself incredible in December as the man turning around the club.
'[The] Premier League It is the most difficult competition in the world, “he said during the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards ceremony.
'All teams are good, all teams fight, all teams run, all teams are strong. Football is now different. There are no more easy games.
“They need it, I said this a year and a half ago, and I will continue to say it: the problem is not the coaches, it's as if … I always give this example … it's like an aquarium.
'If you have the fish and it is sick and you take it out and you solve the problem and you place it again in an aquarium, you will be sick again.
'The problem of Manchester United is the same. The problem is not always the coach. It is much more than that. '
He continued: “If I will be the owner of the club, I will make things clear and adjust things that are bad there.”
After Ten Hag was fired in October after he had led United to their worst Premier League start ever, the Dutchman was replaced by Ruben Amorim, a former teammate of Ronaldos for the Portugal National Team.
Amorim is only nine days older than Ronaldo, and his debut season as a player in the Portuguese top flight came only a few months after Ronaldo took his first step on his way to football immortality by coming to United in 2003.
Between 2010 and 2014, the couple appeared at several times at international level before Amorim hung up his boots to start a career in the Dugout.
