9 star players who should make a Premier League return

1) Cristiano Ronaldo

Will Cristiano Ronaldo don the red no.7 shirt again?

Could the prodigal son return to Old Trafford? The Premier League was where Cristiano Ronaldo made a name for himself and it is Real Madrid that have since reaped the benefits – both on and off the pitch.

His goalscoring exploits have now become the stuff of legend. No player (save for Lionel Messi) can match his record in the modern game and it will be years before anyone can break the kind of records he has set for both club and country.

The recent allegations of tax fraud have reportedly angered Ronaldo to the point where he now wants to seek a hasty exit from Spain. Normally a 32-year-old player would not command a long-term contract but this is Ronaldo – probably the fittest footballer on the planet.

Reports suggest that Manchester United could be interested but the transfer fee would be the factor that makes or breaks the deal. If he is to return, though, the Premier League would only become that much more exciting to watch.
