Manchester United chief David Gill cannot rule out a sensational return to the club for Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.Sir Alex Ferguson claims he would welcome the prolific frontman back with open arms, with Ronaldo the kind of player who would improve any side.

Gill told Sky Sports News HD: "He is a brilliant player but he is contracted for the next two-and-a-half years at Madrid.

"We are looking forward to welcoming him back, he will get a great reception at Old Trafford in early March and that is all we have got to say."
