Cristiano Ronaldo could find his way back to Manchester United under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, according to Teddy Sheringham. The former United striker believes that Ronaldo would be welcomed back to Old Trafford, particularly with the Portuguese manager taking over the reins.

Ronaldo’s first return to Manchester United in 2021 was initially viewed as a dream comeback. However, things quickly soured after a controversial interview with Piers Morgan led to his departure for Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. Despite this, Ronaldo’s star has continued to rise, becoming the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League and embracing new opportunities in his career.

Sheringham, speaking to FlashScore, acknowledged that while Ronaldo’s return might seem unlikely given the past tensions, the prospect of reuniting with Amorim—who was once Ronaldo’s teammate for Portugal—could make such a move more plausible. “Cristiano Ronaldo would be very welcome back at Manchester United under Ruben Amorim. But he is onto bigger and better things,” said Sheringham. He added that Ronaldo is likely to follow in the footsteps of David Beckham, focusing on global ventures rather than a return to coaching.

While Sheringham sees a potential return to United as a possibility, he also notes that at 39 years old, Ronaldo may decide to finish his playing career elsewhere. Sheringham does not foresee Ronaldo taking on a coaching role at Old Trafford, a sentiment echoed by Ronaldo himself. The legendary forward has expressed his lack of interest in coaching, citing the challenges of connecting with today’s generation of players, who, he believes, rely more on social media than traditional advice.

Instead of coaching, Ronaldo is focused on exploring business ventures after his playing days come to an end. He shared on his YouTube channel that he is excited about this new chapter in his life and is eager to apply his skills to the business world. “I have other things to worry about, another chapter of my life that is business-focused,” Ronaldo said. “It will be a challenge for me to learn other areas I don’t know, and I’m confident I will be good at it.”
