When Cristiano Ronaldo rocked up at Manchester United in a Lamborghini this week, it felt just like the good old days.
Of course, Ronaldo is a different man now at the age of 36 from the one who left United 12 years ago. A father of four, a five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or and an even bigger star after conquering Europe with Real Madrid and Portugal.
Still, it was almost possible to forget the passage of time when he returned to Carrington looking like a million dollars: tanned, immaculately manicured and capable of passing for someone considerably younger.
