Manchester United fans plan a "Come Home Ronaldo" flying banner

Ronaldo celebrates against Elche

Manchester United fans are trying all methods to get their favourite prodigal son back at the club where he first made his name. This time they plan to fly a “Come home Ronaldo” banner during a Real Madrid game and hopefully tug at the player’s heartstrings.

The plane-banner is scheduled to fly during Real Madrid’s next La Liga away match against Villareal.

A group of supporters called United Reel are spending £3,000 in a showcase that might yet go unnoticed if the Portuguese forward decides not to look skywards when the banner flies over the Estadio El Madrigal.

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has refused to rule out a move for the 29-year-old but was resigned to the fact that his club won’t sell him.

The message will read 'COME HOME RONALDO - UNITED REEL'. Fans from countries like UAE, Lebanon and Egypt have funded the plan as part of the United Reel's #bringronaldohome campaign.

The player’s latest comments hardly encourage rumours of a return, but you can’t blame these fans for trying.

Fresh from scoring 7 goals in his last two La Liga games, including consecutive hat-tricks, Ronaldo said that his immediate future lies with the Madrid club.

This is not the first time the fans have used a flying banner to voice an opinion. A banner saying :'Wrong One - Moyes Out' was flown over Old Trafford in March earlier this year during the Scottish manager’s ill-fated reign.

The club lie 12^th on the Premier league table with just one win under manager Louis van Gaal.
