It’s still not time to buy stock in the Cristiano Ronaldo coming back to Manchester United rumors, but Angel Di Maria gave a very telling interview that makes you think the idea isn’t as far out as it sounds.
“Cristiano was always on my side. I don’t know how much longer he can put up with it at Madrid,” said Di Maria who just left Real Madrid to join United.
Di Maria also articulated just how much his relationship soured with the giant La Liga club in his revealing interview with Radio America.
Di Maria: My relationship with Florentino isn’t that good. When I signed my contract renewal he was not there. #mufc

Back to Ronaldo, the speculation started earlier this week when he made these comments in an interview in the Daily Mail.
‘I love Manchester,’ Cristiano Ronaldo said.
‘Everyone knows that — I have said it many times. Manchester is in my heart. I left many good friends there, the supporters are amazing and I wish I can come back one day.’
Hey, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
