"Cristiano Ronaldo still dreams of returning to Manchester United," Balague writes in Cristiano Ronaldo: The Biography . "The English club informed his agent in 2013 that they have enough financial power to secure his return.
"The club's new manager at the time, David Moyes, believed that they were about to convince Ronaldo to come back that very summer.
"That was the message that United's board transmitted to him. What ensued instead was a contract renewal for Ronaldo at Real Madrid that turned him into the best-paid player on the planet in September 2013.
"In summer 2014 he told a Real Madrid player who was about to leave Los Blancos that he saw himself at United in two years' time.
"The feeling that Carrington was the ideal place to pave his path, Old Trafford to play his football and the Premier League to feel loved gradually developed in Ronaldo's head."
Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 United games and won three Premier League titles, two League Cups, the FA Cup, the Champions League and the Club World Cup during his six illustrious years in Manchester.
