The fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the top two players in the world is undisputed. The fact that Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world is known to all. Louis Van Gaal would love to have a marquee signing to emphasis the earlier point.
The sentiments of Ronaldo towards his former club and the fact that LVG requires a winger with pace might just prove to be the catalyst for a high profile signing.
However, sports and emotions do not always go hand in hand. Ronaldo is entering his thirties and although a phenomenal player, may not be able to keep up those high standards for a very long time. Ronaldo is a legend at the Bernabeu and is the club's all time top scorer scoring 326 goals. He is not the same player that left United in 2009. He has now turned into a prolific goal scorer and is no more that tricky and speedy winger.
The current Ronaldo prefers the central role and for LVG to convince him to move to a wider role would not be that easy as it seems. In fact, a club like PSG would be a better fit for him. He could play a major role in their rise to becoming one of Europe's heavyweights which he could make happen by playing in the more central role which he craves. As for Manchester United, a move for Ronaldo's Madrid teammate Gareth Bale would make more sense.
