After returning to Portugal, Manchester United great Cristiano Ronaldo surprised his mom with a birthday present.

In his last game of 2023, Ronaldo scored for Al Nassr in a 4-1 victory over Al Taawoun on Saturday. During the calendar year, the 38-year-old scored 54 goals for club and country, including 10 in nine games for Portugal. He joined the Saudi Arabian team in January after his second term with United ended.

After the victory over Al Taawoun, Ronaldo quickly hopped on a plane to his home island of Madeira, where he would spend the winter break. On Sunday, the forward traveled only in time to attend his mother Dolores Alveiro’s 69th birthday celebration.Katia Aveiro, Ronaldo’s sister, posted a video to her social media showing her grandson Cristiano Jr. guiding his grandmother to a surprise present. The new Porsche Cayenne that Ronaldo gave to his mother, complete with a red ribbon bow, caused her to respond emotionally.

“If she is happy, it is because her son remembers her and not because of the value of the gift,” Ronaldo’s sister captioned the video. Do right by your parents, and you will have many happy years on this planet.

Due to Al Nassr’s inactivity until their February 12th AFC Champions League match against Al Fehia, Ronaldo was able to have a celebratory family outing. The legendary striker, though, will get another opportunity to face off against Lionel Messi next month.

As a friendly match for the Riyadh Season Cup on February 1, Al Nassr will take on Inter Miami, whose roster includes Messi.

Manchester United interested in bringing in €13m Paulo Dybala to bolster misfiring аttаck

This month, Manchester United may try to strengthen their offense by signing Paulo Dybala.

The Argentine forward has reportedly been linked to five different clubs, including Manchester United (according to fichajes.net).

“Several European giants have cast their nets in search of the talented Argentine striker” and his “release clause is reduced to €13 million in his contract with Roma” are the reasons behind the player’s increased interest this window.

United reportedly have little money to spend this winter transfer window, so a €13 million move for a highly experienced striker could be a good choice.

Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing the Roma star for such a cheap price, according to the Spanish transfer news website.

United are reportedly seeking an оffensive partner for Rasmus Hojlund, which is why they have joined the auction.

The club “see Ԁybаlа аs the piece thаt cоmpletes their аttаcking frоnt,” аnԀ rumоur hаs it thаt Ԁybаlа’s аԀаptаbility will wоrk wоnԀers in Erik ten Hаg’s system.

United was reportedly one of several Premier League clubs who offered the player a deal in the spring of last year in an effort to take advantage of his cheap release clause. These rumors have since circulated.

Much earlier than this, the Manchester club had shown interest in the Argentine international.

Under Jose Mourinho, he was often linked to United, and in 2019, he came close to joining the club.

“I was close to leaving,” the forward said in 2020. I was aware that the club had that in mind. We waited till the very end.

Dybala remained in Italy, though, and nothing changed.

With 12 games played in the league, the 30-year-old has been rather prolific for Serie A this season, contributing to four goals and six assists. (All data is sourced from transfermarkt.com)

An аttаck that has failed to score more league goals than Luton Town thus far would undoubtedly benefit from his experience and quality.

Supporters of Manchester United will be watching developments with bated breath to determine whether the Argentine will don the illustrious red shirt for the first time.
