One of the biggest names in world football, superstar Ronaldo completed his fairy-tale return to Old Trafford from Juventus on the final day of the recently concluded summer transfer window in the English Premier League (EPL).

Ronaldo was finally out of the quarantine on Tuesday and the Portugal captain reportedly had his first training session with his new teammates at Manchester United.
