Red Devils Raring for Return of Ronaldo

Jose Mourinho was left reeling on Saturday after watching his Manchester United side let three points slip from their grasp in the dying moments of their match against Mourinho’s former employers Chelsea as the Red Devils were made to settle for a share of the spoils in the 2-2 draw. Despite the impressive performance, the result means that United head into Tuesday’s crucial clash off the back of just one win in their last six matches in all competitions.

Juventus dropped their first points of the season domestically this past weekend as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Genoa. Cristiano Ronaldo was on target once again for the Old Lady, netting his 5th goal of the campaign in Serie A. He makes his return to Champions League action this week after missing his sides win against Young Boys on matchday 2 after the Portuguese forward was shown a red card in their opening fixture against Valencia.

Red Devils Raring for Return of Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo spent six fruitful seasons at the Theatre of Dreams under Sir Alex Ferguson, winning three Premier League titles, two League Cups, the FA Cup as well as the UEFA Champions League with Manchester United. He is still fondly adored in Manchester despite scoring in a 2-1 win for Real Madrid in his only previous appearance against United since leaving the English giants in 2009 – a goal that knocked his former side out of the Champions League in Ferguson’s final season in charge.

Tuesday’s affair will be the pairs first meeting since United beat Juventus both home and away in 2003. The duo famously clashed in the semi-finals in 1999, when Man United on route to completing an unprecedented treble, managed to overcome the Italians 4-3 on aggregate after a thrilling second-leg which saw Red Devils captain Roy Keane, despite picking up a booking that meant he would miss the final, turn in a man-of-the-match display, scoring United’s opening goal of the encounter that sparked a typical comeback from two-goals down that night in Turin.
