Former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan is happy seeing Cristiano Ronaldo back at Old Trafford.

The pair were teammates during Ronaldo's first spell United.

Forlan, now coach of Atenas in the Uruguayan Second Division, told Marca: "I think he chose very well.

"Manchester is his home, where he really began his career in the elite and where he also won everything. I think Cristiano has made a great choice. At Old Trafford they will surely receive him for what he is: an idol.

"I am very happy about his signing and hopefully, with his return, United will return to the elite, where they were before."
