Cristiano Ronaldo’s luxury private jet has reportedly been grounded in Manchester airport following a technical problem
Ronaldo’s £61million aircraft arrived at the airport on Friday and was still on the ground on Tuesday afternoon.
Adorned with the player’s CR7 logo and a silhouette of his iconic goal celebration, the Bombardier Global Express 6500 jet had touched down in the city Ronaldo enjoyed two stints as a player last week.
The arrival was revealed in a post by the airport’s X account, accompanied by a love heart eyes and eyes emoji.
It is not immediately clear whether Ronaldo was present when his jet arrived in the city in which he enjoyed so much success.
According to the Sun, the jet is expected to remain at the airport while it undergoes repairs.
Engineers reportedly discovered a crack in one of the aircraft’s windows and are now awaiting the delivery of a replacement.
The private jet had been pictured at Manchester airport next to the plane which was taking Man City’s squad to Madrid for the second leg of their Champions League play-off second leg.
It is unclear whether Ronaldo, who reportedly bought the private jet, had been on board when the aircraft arrived on Friday.
It appears unlikely given the Al-Nassr captain started the Saudi Pro League side’s 3-2 win over Al-Ahli on Thursday, before being replaced late in the second half.
The arrival had sparked speculation from Man United fans, with some callling for Ronaldo to return for a third stint at the club.
After a hugely successful initial spell at Old Trafford that saw him win the first of his five Ballon d’Ors in 2008, Ronaldo returned to United in 2021 during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign at the club.
Despite receiving a hero’s welcome on his return, Ronaldo’s second spell at Old Trafford would ultimately come to an acrimonious end.
After a public falling out with Erik ten Hag saw him frozen out, Ronaldo made a number of explosive claims in a TV interview that led to United terminating his contract.
