David Beckham has told Cristiano Ronaldo that he should crawl on his hands and knees to return to Manchester United.
And the Old Trafford legend has admitted, as he prepares to play once more at the famous old Stadium, that he still harbours a dream of coming back himself one day in some capacity.
Beckham will play in front of a sell out crowd on Saturday, in a charity game that will raise funds for UNICEF and boasts massive stars such as Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldinho and Luis Figo.
Ronaldo won't be there because he's on international duty, but the speculation in recent weeks has grown to fever pitch about him leaving Real Madrid, with PSG and Chelsea touted as likely destinations.
As he arrived though, at the ground he still considers home, Beckham insisted there is only one place for another United legend to go.
“Cristiano is such a fans' favourite here, and If he decides to leave Real Madrid then for me personally the only place he should come is back to United.
“I'd never advise any player not to return to Old Trafford – when I left I'd have crawled back if I could!
“Cristiano was so successful here, such a hard worker, everyone you talk to that has played with him, been around his world, he’s not just one of the most talented players in the game, he’s a hard worker as well.
“I never had the opportunity to do that, and I’m proud of the teams I played for after Utd. But for me, I always think Old Trafford is where the journey should end.”
