- Story Text: Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return to former club Manchester United as Juventus travel to Old Trafford, England, UK for a crunch Group H clash on Tuesday (October 23).
The Portuguese scored 118 goals in 292 appearances for the Premier League giants during a six-year spell which ended when he joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2009.
Ronaldo won eight major trophies with United, including three league titles, two League Cups, one FA Cup, a Club World Cup and one Champions League in 2008 when United beat fellow English side Chelsea on penalties in Moscow, Russia.
The 33-year-old added four more Champions Leagues to his collection with Real Madrid before moving to Juventus in the summer, where he hopes to land Europe's biggest club prize once more.
Juventus - two-time European champions but not since 1996 - have reached two of the last four finals, and are among the favourites to go all the way this season.
Hosts United have lifted the trophy on three occasions.
Juve sit top of Group H on six points, two ahead of second-placed United. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
