Cristiano Ronaldo Rules Out Quick Return to Manchester United: Daily Soccer Report

In today’s soccer news, Cristiano Ronaldo has ruled out a quick return to Manchester United, ruining the hopes of United supporters who were excited about seeing CR7 return to Old Trafford.

“I miss English footbal. For me, it was one of the best years in my career when I was there in Manchester United. Everyone knows that it is a club that is still in my heart and I really, really miss.

“But now my life is in Spain. I am enjoying playing there too.

“Part of my life is there, but in the future we never know. I am really, really happy in the Spanish league.”

With no hope of Ronaldo returning to the Premier League, Radamel Falcao having joined Monaco and the likelihood that Edinson Cavani may be joining Paris Saint-Germain instead of Manchester City or Chelsea, are we to see any major signings join a Premier League club this summer, or are all the riches going to the super rich clubs such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Monaco and PSG?
