Cristiano Ronaldo has dealt United fans a blow by saying he wants to play in Brazil when he leaves Real Madrid, reports Metro.
The newly crowned Ballon d'Or winner is a favourite of the Old Trafford faithful and would be welcomed back with open arms if he ever decided to return to Manchester.
But the 29-year-old has spoken of his desire to play in Brazil before he calls a day on his career.
He said: "Corinthians and Flamengo are two famous clubs, I would gladly dress in one of their shirts.
"In Brazil I have many friends, so my relationship with the country is very good. At Real I have passed many Brazilians, with Kaka one of the people I respect most of all."
