Ronaldo could return to Lisbon, that’s the headline that was all over the papers in Portugal today, with the thought that United and Ronaldo could be the next pairing in the knockout stages of the Europa League.
Their coach Ruben Amorim, in an interview with the media in Portugal, emphasized that he does not want Manchester United as the next rival, but still, if they win, he hopes that Ronaldo will stay on the bench, so as not to give them a goal.
“We don’t want Manchester United, but if they still visit here, Ronaldo will stay on the bench, so he doesn’t score a goal against us,” said Amorim.
The draw for the next stage in the Europa League will take place on Monday, in the first hat are PSV, Rennes, Roma, Union Berlin, United, Midtjylland, Nantes and Monaco, while in the second are Bayer Leverkusen, Ajax, Sporting, Barcelona, Shakhtar, Salzburg, Sevilla and Juventus.
