Manchester United fans prepare ‘Come home Ronaldo’ stunt for Real Madrid’s clash with Villarreal

 

Supporters group United Reel have paid for a plane to fly over Saturday’s La Liga clash in a bid to bring their Portuguese favourite back to Old Trafford

A group of Manchester United fans will launch a campaign to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford this weekend, writes Rob Dawson of the Manchester Evening News.

The Portuguese superstar has been touted for a big-money return to the Red Devils next summer after reportedly growing frustrated at Real Madrid.

And now supporters group United Reel have paid for a plane to fly over Los Blancos’ clash with Villarreal on Saturday – carrying the message ‘Come home Ronaldo’.

The group’s founder Oli Grandidge told the MEN: “We have active supporters on every continent of the world and we are all united by our love for Cristiano both as a football player and as a person.
“We won’t stop until we bring Ronaldo home.

“Members from all over the world have donated their own money and resources to fund a mid game message, flown by plane, in a bid to demonstrate to Cristiano Ronaldo how much the United faithful still love and support him.

“With the current uncertainty regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s future, UNITED REEL deem it essential that the player, can not only feel but actually see how much the fans still love him and how proud they are of his achievements since he left Manchester United.

Ronaldo left United for Real Madrid in 2009 for a world record fee of £80m and has since won the Spanish league title and the Champions League at the Bernabeu.
 
But there has been constant speculation he has grown unhappy this season after Real Madrid sanctioned Angel Di Maria’s £59.7m move to Old Trafford in August.

However, the uncertainty hasn’t affected his form on the pitch with the 29-year-old scoring eight goals in his last three games.

He has been heavily linked with a move back to United, and fuelled the transfer talk earlier this month when he revealed it was his ‘wish’ to return.

It is not the first famous United stunt as last season, a group of United fans raised £840 to pay for a plane to fly over Old Trafford with an anti-David Moyes protest.

A plane carrying the message ‘Wrong One – Moyes Out’ flew over the stadium during United’s 4-1 win over Aston Villa in March.'

The latest stunt, which is set to take place during Real Madrid’s Spanish League clash with Villarreal at Estadio El Madridgal this weekend, has cost £2,750.
