Cristiano Ronaldo caused a wave of online speculation after his private jet was seen on the track of Manchester airport.
Adorned with the player's CR7 logo and a silhouette of his iconic goals celebration, the Bombardier Global Express 6500 plane landed in the city that Ronaldo enjoyed two periods as a player.
The arrival was revealed in a position by the X of the airport, accompanied by a love of love and eyes of love emoji on Friday.
It is not clear immediately if Ronaldo was present when his plane reached the city where he enjoyed so much success.
It seems unlikely that the Al-Nassr captain began the 3-2 victory of the Saudi Pro team over Al-Ahli on Thursday, before being replaced at the end of the second half.
Ronaldo is also expected to be in action when Al-Nassr travels to the Iranian capital of Tehran to face Persepolis FC in his last match in the AFC Champions League phase on Monday.
After a greatly successful initial spell in Old Trafford that saw him win the first of his five ballon d'Ors in 2008, Ronaldo returned to United in 2021 during the reign of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the club.
Despite receiving a hero on his return, Ronaldo's second spell in Old Trafford would finally reach a bitter end.
After a public fall with Erik Ten Hag saw him freeze, Ronaldo made a series of explosive claims in a television interview that led United to end his contract.
However, despite the bitter nature of his departure, in December Ronaldo launched incredibly as man to change the club.
“(La) Premier League is the most difficult league in the world,” he said at the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards ceremony.
'All teams are good, all teams fight, all teams run, all teams are strong. Football is different at this time. There are no easy games.
'They need, I said this a year and a half ago, and I will continue to say it: the problem is not the coaches, it is like … I always give this example … it's like an aquarium.
'If you have the inner fish and he is sick and you take it out and solve the problem and put it again in an aquarium, you will be sick again.
'The Manchester United problem is the same. The problem is not always the coach. It is much more than that.
He continued: “If I will be the club's owner, I will make things clear and adjust things that are bad there.”
After Ten Hag was fired in October after bringing United to his worst beginning of the Premier League, the Dutchman was replaced by Ruben Amorim, a former teammate from Ronaldo for the national team of Portugal.
Amorim is only nine days older than Ronaldo, and his debut season as a player in the highest Portuguese category arrived only a few months after Ronaldo took his first step on the road to immortality to football by joining United in 2003.
Between 2010 and 2014, the couple appeared in multiple occasions internationally before Amorim hung their boots to embark on a race on the bench.
