'Come home Ronaldo' - Manchester United fans fly banner during Real Madrid game

The 29-year-old has been linked with a return to Old Trafford in recent weeks, with one supporter group to step up their campaign with a banner against Villarreal

A BANNER URGING Cristiano Ronaldo to return “home” to Manchester United has been flown over El Madrigal during Real Madrid’s clash with Villarreal.

The Portugal forward has been linked with a move back to Old Trafford and one United fans’ group is doing its bit to make it happen with a banner which read: ‘Come home Ronaldo – United Reel’.

United Reel, which describes itself as an organisation for “die hard Manchester United fans from every corner of the globe”, raised the funds ahead of Real’s La Liga match at Villarreal on Saturday.

“United Reel has active supporters on every continent of the world and we are all united by our love for Cristiano both as a footballer and as a person,” the group said in a statement. “We stand united in our views and we won’t stop until we bring Ronaldo home.”

Rumours of Ronaldo’s unrest at Santiago Bernabeu intensified when ex-Real president Ramon Calderon claimed that the 29-year-old was disillusioned with life at the club and unhappy with Florentino Perez.

However, Carlo Ancelotti has since rubbished reports of a return to England insisting the Portugal captain is happy with life at the Bernabeu.

“These are words without meaning,” he told reporters.

“I believe [the] reports are nonsense. Cristiano is happy here, very motivated to be here, and all Madridismo is delighted with him.”
