Manchester United are riding high after back-to-back Premier League victories, including a shock win over champions Liverpool, as they gear up for a pivotal home clash against Brighton this weekend. With Ruben Amorim at the helm, whispers of a potential Cristiano Ronaldo reunion have intensified, prompting calls for the manager to weigh in on the idea.
Confidence Boost After Liverpool Triumph Sets Stage for Brighton
The Red Devils’ resurgence has lifted them to ninth in the table, with Amorim aiming for a third straight league success. A strong result against Brighton at Old Trafford could ignite their season, especially with tricky away games at Nottingham Forest and Tottenham on the horizon. However, Brighton have won their last three visits to the Theatre of Dreams, presenting a stern test. United’s patchy record against Spurs and Forest adds urgency, but the recent derby scalp provides the ideal springboard to build momentum before November’s international hiatus.
Ronaldo Reunion Speculation Heats Up: Amorim’s Call to Make
Amid the optimism, reports suggest Manchester United are exploring mid-season friendlies in Saudi Arabia to offset financial shortfalls from missing European action, potentially setting up a lucrative reunion with Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr. The 40-year-old Portuguese icon, who left Old Trafford amid controversy in 2022, could face his former club in a blockbuster tie, blending nostalgia with revenue generation. Amorim has voiced support for such warm-weather camps, stating, “We have to do it,” fueling excitement. Ex-United striker Louis Saha noted the pair’s connection but cautioned against sentiment-driven moves, leaving the decision squarely with Amorim as fans dream of an emotional return.
