Ronaldo's remarkable return to Manchester United - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Darren Fletcher is joined by Nedum Onuoha to discuss Cristiano Ronaldo’s sensational return to Manchester United, 12 years after he left Old Trafford.

Simon Stone explains how the transfer unfolded so quickly; from Ronaldo telling Juventus he was leaving, to being heavily linked to Manchester City and then finally a deal being agreed with the club that’s arguably closest to his heart.

Michael Owen tells Darren why Ronaldo is a very different player to the one that scored 118 goals in 292 games in his last spell at United and how he’ll fit into the current team.

And Cristiano’s former teammate Owen Hargreaves joins the boys to give a fascinating insight into what he’s like in training, what impact he’ll have on the younger players in the team and how he’s more of a team player than many people think.
