Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed he wants to take Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Portugal forward Ronaldo left United for Real Madrid in 2009 for a thenworld record \u00a380m fee and has become the Spanish side’s top goalscorer.<\/p>\n
However, speculation persists that the 30-year-old is set to leave Madrid.<\/p>\n
“We are looking at all players, not just Ronaldo. But these players are mostly ungettable,” said Van Gaal. “With Ronaldo, let’s wait and hope.”<\/p>\n
Ronaldo, a three-time Fifa world player of the year, broke Raul’s record of 323 goals for Real earlier this season.<\/p>\n
He has won one La Liga title, a Champions League crown and two Spanish Cup titles in just over six years in the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n
Before moving to Madrid, he won three Premier League titles, one Champions League, one FA Cup and two League Cups in six seasons at United.<\/p>\n
He moved to Old Trafford for \u00a312.24m from Sporting Lisbon in 2003 and scored 118 goals in 292 appearances for the Red Devils.
