Ángel di María believes Cristiano Ronaldo, his former Real Madrid team-mate, might never return to Manchester United.

The Portuguese has often cited his affection for United but Di María reckons he may never again play for the 20-times champions. “I don’t think he is coming back to Manchester. It’s hard to quit Real Madrid. Maybe, but I think he’s having a great time and I don’t see that he wants to change,” the Argentinian reportedly told a radio station in his homeland.

Di María joined United from Real in a British record £59.8m transfer in the summer, after helping the club to La Décima, their 10th Champions League triumph in May alongside Ronaldo.

He returned to the United side for Sunday’s 2-0 FA Cup third-round win over Yeovil Town, scoring the second goal, following a thigh injury that had ruled him out since 20 December.
