"United Reel" flew a banner over
Villarreal's El Madrigal stadium
during their clash with Real Madrid
on Saturday pleading with Cristiano
Ronaldo to return to the Premier League side.
The "Come Home Ronaldo - United Reel" banner
circled the stadium 20 minutes into the match at the
end of a sensational week for Ronaldo that has seen
him linked with a return to Old Trafford in the
English press.
The Portuguese scored back-to-back hat-tricks in
victories over Deportivo la Coruna to take his tally
for the season to 12 in just eight games and 264
goals in 254 games since joining Madrid from
United five years ago.
United broke the British transfer record to land
Angel di Maria from Madrid last month in a £59.7
million deal.
However, an even bigger fee is likely to be required
to re-sign the World Player of the Year, who left
United for £80 million in 2009 and signed a new
lucrative five-year contract with Madrid just 12
months ago.
