Sir Bobby Charlton wishes for Cristiano Ronaldo to come back to Manchester United

Manchester United legend and director and World Cup winner Sir Bobby Charlton has revealed his desire for Cristiano Ronaldo to come back and play for the club. While speaking to Laureus.com on a question about the best players in this year’s FIFA World Cup, Charlton admitted that he was envious that England don’t have a talent to match Ronaldo.

“Ronaldo is a sensational player and I’m really, really envious when I see his talent that [England] don’t seem to ever match that sort of quality. He is just the most enjoyable player to watch. He tries all sorts of things. When he was with us [Manchester United] it was just magic. You know, he loves scoring goals. He’ll continue to do that. He’s a great, great player and Portugal are going to be a very strong outlet for the really great talent that Ronaldo has. He is just sensational and the most enjoyable player to watch that I’ve ever seen. He is so fast, so inventive, just magic.”

Charlton wondered if Ronaldo would ever come back to the club that shaped his career.

“I wonder if ever the day would come when maybe he would come and play for us [Manchester United] again. I don’t think it will happen, but you never know.”

He also talked about how Ronaldo’s great rival, Barcelona’s Lionel Messi matched up to him.

“Messi is a little bit different. He plays with his team. He scores fantastic goals and he will be there in the World Cup, I have no doubt about that. He brings players into it, whereas Ronaldo will do things only as an individual.”

Sir Bobby also spoke Juan Mata and what expectations he has for Manchester United in the coming season including Louis van Gaal's appointment as the next manager.
