Cristiano Ronaldo's former Real Madrid team-mate Angel Di Maria has ruled out any possibility of Portuguese star returning to Manchester United.
"I don't think he is coming back to Manchester," the Argentine winger, now plying his trade with the English soccer giants Awas quoted as saying by mirror.co.uk.
Di Maria said the 29-year-old Ronaldo was having a great time at the Bernabeu and he did not see a reason behind him coming back to United.
"It's hard to quit Real Madrid. I think he's having a great time and I don't see that he wants to change," he added.
Ronaldo had scored 84 goals from 196 games for the "Red Devils" during his stint in the Premier League. He quit Manchester for Spanish club Real Madrid in 2009.
