Cristiano Ronaldo will always be fondly remembered at Old Trafford, but as the five-time Ballon d'Or winner rolls back into town today, this former hero may be the last sight Man United want to see.

Today, he returns in the colours of Juventus, with the cloud of a rape accusation in USA dating back to just before he made the move to Madrid in 2009. Ronaldo strongly denies the allegation and has been backed by his club, but it remains to be seen if the hero worship he got on his last visit to Old Trafford in 2013 is dialled down a bit by United fans. That night he broke United hearts, including that of old mentor Alex Ferguson, in what was his last European match in charge, with the winning goal in a contentious tie.
