The delighted Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo said:
“Manchester United is a club that has always had a special place in my heart, and I have been overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since the announcement on Friday.

Man Utd working to hand Ronaldo iconic No.7 shirt
Meanwhile, Premier League club Manchester United are desperate to hand Cristiano Ronaldo his preferred No 7 shirt.
Portuguese legend who wore the club’s No.7 shirt during his first spell at the club agreed a blockbuster return to the club last week.
The English giants United would no doubt rather Ronaldo wear the number 7 due to the immense marketing potential.
It seems United already have the perfect solution in place to ensure Cavani isn't left with a number he doesn't want.
The current owner of the number 21 shirt at Manchester United is Dan James, who is in the process of completing a permanent £30million switch to Leeds.
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that one of football’s biggest prospects in European football Eduardo Camavinga is on the verge of joining Spanish giants Real Madrid.
The summer transfer window is already in its final day and Camavinga’s move to the Santiago Bernabeu is imminent.
The Spanish giants have only managed to secure David Alaba’s signing following the expiration of his contract with Bayern Munich.
