A bombshell dropped in Spain this week, when Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly announced his desire to leave Real Madrid.

Some Manchester United fans have imagined a dream return to Old Trafford for the Portugal international.

However, according to Diario Gol, some sceptics - including Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho – are sure that Ronaldo has threatened the club with his departure because of a contract stoush.
