Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo revealed he could make a dramatic return to Manchester United.
The 29-year-old left the Red Devils during the 2009 summer transfer window after spending six years in Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
But he revealed he still loves the city and the club.
"I love Manchester; everyone knows that, I have said it many times," the Portuguese told The Daily Mail.
"Manchester is in my heart. I left many good friends there, the supporters are amazing and I wish I can come back one day.
"I am happy here in Real Madrid and have four more years, but in the future you never know because they treated me unbelievably there.
"I really did love being at Manchester United.
"Believe me, they will be a good team again. I'm sure of it. It is a great club."
The Red Devils made a terrible start to the new season but the Portugal international believes it's too early to write them off, especially after a number of important signings made in the last week of the transfer window.
"This can happen. Bad moments and good moments," said Ronaldo.
"Manchester is passing through a bad moment. Last year it was a horrible season and this year they haven't started well either.
"But I do think they did well to buy [Angel] Di Maria and [Radamel] Falcao.
"I think the team will be much better. I want to see them better because it is such a fantastic club and they deserve to be better.
"Falcao is a very good signing. He is a very good player."
