Jorge Mendes: Ronaldo will not return to Man United

Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has claimed that his client does not want to re-join Manchester United and further retire at Real Madrid.

The 29-year-old has been heavily linked with a move back to Old Trafford with some reports in Spanish and English press claiming a deal would be reached next summer.

However, Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has insisted that his client is happy with life at the Santiago Bernabeu and aims to retire at the club.

“Cristiano Ronaldo will retire at Real Madrid when he turns 40,” Mendes told Cadena Cope.

“He is very happy at Madrid. It is impossible to lure Ronaldo away from Madrid. He breaks all the records and is regarded as the best athlete ever.

“He is happy at Real Madrid and has always been happy here. He will break all the records and then retire at Madrid.

“Manchester United will always have a place in his heart, because he spent six years there. But he is only thinking about Madrid now and will always stay here.

“He is delighted to be at Madrid. People know that it is impossible to sign him, so it’s not even worth calling.”

Super agent Mendes, also claimed that the Portuguese international is the greatest player of all-time, adding further to the debate between him and Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.

“Ronaldo is the best player in the world and the best we have ever seen,” he declared. “You will never see a player like him again. He is getting better and better and will continue to do so until he turns 40.

“You cannot compare him with anyone. There will not be anyone like him in the next 500 years.”
