Cristiano Ronaldo's career since his move from Manchester United to Real Madrid has been arguably the most successful career of all time - and he may just carry that form back to Manchester after being linked with a sensational return to Old Trafford.
Ronaldo, now 36, left the Red Devils when he was 24 after scoring 84 league goals in 196 games under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Swapping England for the sunnier climate of Spain, Ronaldo announced himself as arguably the best player in the world alongside Lionel Messi in his time at the Bernabeu with 311 league goals in 292 games.
And he has carried on that form in Turin at Juventus - with 81 league goals in 98 games despite his age usually signalling natural decline.
By announcing himself as one of the best in the world, it is only natural that in drier spells, Ronaldo comes under intense criticism by fans, rivals and pundits alike.
But what makes him so great is his mindset; not letting anything deter his brilliance, he has a unique way of blocking out hatred from the outside, focusing on himself and ultimately winning trophies.
