Cristiano Ronaldo has completed his Manchester United medical ahead of his sensational return to the club.
The Portuguese forward, 36, has also agreed personal terms on a two-year contract, reportedly worth £385,000 a week.
United agreed a deal worth around €23m for Ronaldo with Italian club Juventus last Friday. They will pay an initial €15m upfront plus a further €8 in add-ons, with the last aspects of the deal to be finalised before Tuesday’s 11 p.m. transfer deadline.
Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 games during his first spell with the club, including the 42 goal 2007/08 season which saw the Portugal captain win the Champions league, Premier League, and his first Ballon d’Or.
Top scorer at this summer’s delayed Euro 2020, he completed his medical in Lisbon over the weekend and will join up with the Portugal squad on Monday ahead of their World Cup qualifiers against Ireland and Azerbaijan.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said following their victory over Wolves are Sunday that Ronaldo “is a winner and a great human being. The squad are excited, and I am excited to keep adding to this squad.
“He adds something completely different. It adds more confidence and belief to what we are doing and what we are building.
“We know he is a more experienced player than he was when he was here last time. He has evolved and had an unbelievable career.
“He is not going to sit on the bench. He is going to make us a better team.”
