Welcome to the Two Robbies Podcasts. Sometimes the special days, the special moments

and football that call for emergency action and the breaking news of the day in a historic

day. Friday, August 27th is one of those days. Some stunning news, a developing story of

the last 24 to 48 hours. Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Manchester United. 12 years after

he left, a real record beat around the grid. I'm joined on the podcast, not by Nostez

away from the weekend, but I'd like to say we're joined by a contributor to the show,

Danny Hickenbottom, who started his career at Manchester United, knows Cristiano Ronaldo,

seeing him up close and personal, played against him seven or eight times and could tell

that was something about his development and just what stunning events we've had over

the last 24 hours done. Can you quite believe where we hold this?

No, I can't believe it's incredible. It's my brother's birthday today, so we'll be

made up. The Ronaldo has gone back to United on this day, but it looks as though he was

going back to Manchester, but the blue side, not the red side, then it's just how quickly

it happened. I was following it all and everything that was being said and all of a sudden,

you're here, all you're going to soldier here is press conference, he's very different

in Pep Guardiolas, and all of a sudden the tide just started to change. Then you're here,

some reliable people coming out and saying he's going to be joining Manchester United, and

then before you know it, it's on their media account that he's joined and it's an incredible

sign in. I think you look at his ability on the pitch and he's quite rightly mentioned

in one of the greatest ever players ever to play the game. People talk about him being

36, but he's just the ways the way he's taking care of himself, the goal speed for himself,

the ability that he still has, he's probably really still at a point where he's 29-30.
