A Manchester United supporters' group plans to fly a banner
calling for the "homecoming" of Cristiano Ronaldo during Real
Madrid's next match.
Ronaldo, 29, left the Red Devils in 2009 after six years at
Old Trafford, and increasing speculation in recent months has suggested he
could return after growing disillusioned with life at the Bernabeu.
United Reel, a group of "diehard Manchester United fans
from every corner of the globe," are determined to help lure Ronaldo back
to Old Trafford, and say they will fly a light aircraft over Villarreal's
Estadio El Madrigal during the match against Real Madrid on Saturday displaying
the message "Come Home Ronaldo."
Cristiano Ronaldo made his Manchester United debut in 2003
before leaving for Real Madrid in 2009. Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted at a
return to Manchester United.
A press release on the group's official Twitter page read:
"United Reel have teamed up with their affiliated official Manchester
United Supports Clubs [sic] -- MUSC United Arab Emirates, MUSC Lebanon and MUSC
Egypt to show a "United" front to help bring Ronaldo home.
"Members from all over the world have donated their own
money and resources to fund a mind game message, flown by plane during the
upcoming Villarreal v Real Madrid football match in a bid to demonstrate to
Cristiano Ronaldo how much the United Faithful still love and support him.
"With the current uncertainty regarding Cristiano
Ronaldo's future, United Reel deem it essential that the player can not only
feel but also see how much the fans still love him and how proud they are of
his achievements since he left Manchester United.
"United Reel has active supporters on every continent
of the world and we are all united by our love for Cristiano both as a football
player and as a person. We stand united in our views and we won't stop until we
BRING RONALDO HOME."
Ronaldo has been in fine form for Carlo Ancelotti's side and
scored four goals in their 5-1 victory over Elche on Tuesday to take him above
David Villa's 185 La Liga tally and into joint-10th in the Spanish league's
all-time scorer list with former Los Blancos star Carlos Santillana.
