  WHAT QUINTON FORTUNE SAID

  Quinton Fortune, who played alongside Ronaldo during his first stint in England, has told – who offer the latest Premier League betting – when asked to speculate on CR7’s future: “Could Cristiano Ronaldo be a coach? I think he could do anything he puts his mind to. We’ve seen it first hand during his career.

  “At Manchester United I could see him as a part owner, he’s done incredible things in football and also financially, anything is possible because he loves the club. The club still loves him with the amazing memories he created there, if he got an opportunity behind the scenes I think he’d jump to be a part of it.”
