Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly told a Madrid court last week he wants to return to England.<\/p>\n

The Real Madrid forward appeared in court last Monday to deny he had evaded about \u00a313m in tax by using three off-shore companies based in the British Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo told the court he believed he had paid more tax than he should since he moved to Madrid eight years ago.<\/p>\n

At one stage during his 90-minute appearance, Ronaldo said: “I never had these problems in England. That’s why I want to go back there.”<\/p>\n

Manchester United sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid for \u00a380m in 2009.<\/p>\n

United manager Jos\u00e9 Mourinho said last month it would be “mission impossible” for him to re-sign Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

The Old Trafford club have distanced themselves from reports linking them with a move for Ronaldo and Sky Sports News understand they do not want to be involved in a media circus surrounding his future.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo signed a new-five year Real Madrid contract last November.<\/p>\n
