| Juan Mata believes it will be difficult for Cristiano Ronaldo to play for Man Utd again |
JUAN MATA has cast doubt on a return to Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo as he believes the forward is happy at Real Madrid.
Ronaldo spent six seasons at Old Trafford and scored 118 goals in 292 games under Sir Alex Ferguson, winning nine trophies.
The 30-year-old moved to Real Madrid in the summer of 2009 for £80million and has gone on to score 233 goals for the Bernabeu side, but the Portuguese star has been heavily linked with a move back to Manchester throughout his time in Spain.
However Spanish international Mata can't see Ronaldo, who has also been linked with a move to Chelsea, playing for United again.
"I think it's difficult for that to happen, in truth," Mata told Goal.
"The respect and admiration that the people have for Cristiano (in Manchester) is incredible. You see it at the training ground, at the stadium, with so many photos of when he won all those titles there and did so well on a personal level as well.
"But it's complicated with him at a club like Real Madrid and happy there, which I think he is. He is a player who makes the difference in any league, obviously.
"But as it's very complicated at the moment, I prefer to focus on the players who are here, on playing well and achieving the club's objectives."
