Cristiano Ronaldo is officially heading back to Manchester United after a staggering 24 hours of twists and turns in an unparalleled transfer saga.
"Manchester United is delighted to confirm that the club has reached agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical," the club said in a statement shortly before 5 p.m. local time on Friday.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri had confirmed earlier on Friday that Ronaldo wanted to leave the Italian club, and Ronaldo boarded a private plane in Turin as his agent and multiple clubs negotiated over his future.
