David Beckham Praise Ronaldo, Wishes He Returns To Old Trafford

David Beckham has paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo – and admitted he would love to see him back at Manchester United. Ronaldo struck his 500th career goal during Real Madrid's midweek win over Malmo and Beckham says the Portuguese forward is an example to follow for every young footballer.

 “Ronaldo getting to a milestone like that so quickly is unbelievable,” said the former Real and United star in an exclusive interview with talkSPORT. “Congratulations to Ronaldo because what he has done is incredible and I‘m sure Real Madrid as a club are proud of that. “Like [Lionel] Messi, these players just don’t get good from nothing. They work hard. That is what I have always told my kids and other kids that I have been around – these players are so good because they work so hard.” Ronaldo, who left United for Real Madrid in 2009, has been frequently linked with a return to Old Trafford.

For Beckham, it would be great to see the 30-year-old back in a Red Devils jersey, but he accepts that is unlikely given his status at the Bernabeu.

"I'd like to see him come back, as a Man United fan. That would be great because he was so great at Man United," he said. "But he is at Real Madrid now, he is very comfortable in his life there, the fans obviously love him there, and he looks a real Real Madrid player now."

David Beckham is returning to Old Trafford on November 14 to play in a charity game in aid of UNICEF. The former Manchester United star will captain a Great Britain and

Ireland XI, which will be managed by Sir Alex Ferguson. Tickets are now available on the Manchester United website and are priced from £20 for adults and £10 for children.
