Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United was the bombshell of the week in the Premier League, overshadowing, for example, the league's announcement of not releasing players for the triple date of the South American Qualifiers, a situation that remains without a specific definition.
It is impossible not to analyze his return to the Red Devils without contrasting it with the arrival of Lionel Messi at PSG.
The
two soccer stars of this century
shook the transfer market with their unexpected transfers.
The Argentine, leaving the club of his life.
The Portuguese, returning to the one who made him a star.
In addition, the arrival of CR7 to United was also marked by the novel (
horror for the fans
) minute by minute of his possible arrival at Manchester City, his greatest rival.
There was even speculation that the Bicho's representative, Jorge Mendes, was negotiating the amount of his contract.
Between 2003 and 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo won 10 titles with United, including a Champions League and a Club World Cup.

"Welcome home, King," United finally announced this Friday at noon, putting the soul back into the body of those in red.
And at the time of the numbers, in these hours it was announced
how much Cristiano will charge
in what could be one of the last teams of his career.
According to a publication of
The Sun
, Cristiano will become (by scandal)
the best payment of the squad
led by his former teammate, the Norwegian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Then followed by Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea and two other newcomers, Jadon Sancho and Rafael Varane.
Paul Pogba, world champion in Russia 2018, is in fifth place.
According to the list that was released, CR7 will charge about 480 thousand pounds sterling per week, which would be equivalent to 660 thousand dollars a week:
something like 34 million dollars per year
.
A little less than the 700 thousand dollars a week that, it is said, they asked the City.
At United, however, they swear that Cristiano never really considered playing for Pep Guardiola's team.
Manchester United salaries according to info from The Sun.
Cristiano Ronaldo at the top, with $ 34 million per year.
To that figure we must add the commercial benefits that Cristiano will receive from the sale of shirts,
and in that case it will be key to know what will happen to the number 7
that he used in his first step at United, when he raised a Champions League.
The continuity of the CR7 brand, a millionaire marketing phenomenon, will depend on the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani agreeing to give the number to his new partner.
Regarding Cavani, who at some point raised the possibility of playing in Boca, also appears in the ranking of salaries filtered by The Sun.
The one born in Salto is ranked 7, coincidentally: he charges about 18 million dollars a year.
As if to have a greater magnitude of the difference between the football of those latitudes with that of these.
