Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson IS quietly plotting the sensational return of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo. Fergie has confided in close friend and Italian World Cup-winning boss Marcello Lippi that Ronaldo would be welcome back at Manchester United.
Ronaldo forced through an £80million transfer from United to Real Madrid in the summer of 2009. But Lippi said: "Sir Alex told me he would take Ronaldo back tomorrow.
"We both think he is an extraordinary striker who can start on either wing, or as the sole striker and perform brilliantly.
"But the truly remarkable thing about Cristiano is that he ALWAYS scores."
Ronaldo's relationship with manager Jose Mourinho has been strained and he admits he misses Ferguson and life at Old Trafford.
