July 9, 2019, is destined to be a day that will be remembered by Manchester United fans and even the entire world of football, because the legendary superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in their hearts is about to return to the place where his dream began after a ten-year absence.

The morning sun gently sprinkled on the streets and alleys of Manchester, and the city seemed to be particularly vibrant because of the upcoming arrival of this heavyweight. At the Carrington training base of Manchester United Club, the staff started to get busy early and made final preparations for the return of Cristiano Ronaldo. At the gate of the base, many fans who got the news have gathered one after another. They are wearing the No. 7 jersey that Cristiano Ronaldo used to play for Manchester United. Their faces are full of excitement and expectation. They are holding homemade welcome signs in their hands. Some read "Welcome home, Cristiano!", and some read "The legend is back, Manchester United continues its glory", etc. Everyone can't wait to see that familiar figure.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a business car with the Manchester United logo slowly drove to the Carrington training base. Before the car stopped completely, the fans' excited shouts and waving arms could be seen outside the car window. After the car stopped, the door opened, and Cristiano Ronaldo's tall and charming figure appeared in front of everyone. He was dressed casually, and the black sunglasses could not hide the excitement and emotion in his eyes. Looking at the familiar and slightly changed training base in front of him, his thoughts seemed to be instantly pulled back to the time when he was young but full of fighting spirit and worked hard here many years ago.

The club's sports director and a group of club staff hurried forward to greet him, shook hands and hugged Cristiano Ronaldo enthusiastically, and the simple greetings were full of welcome and joy for his return. "Cristiano, welcome home, we have been looking forward to this day for a long time." Solskjaer said sincerely. Cristiano Ronaldo also responded with a smile: "I'm very happy to be back, it feels like home." Then, surrounded by staff and Solskjaer, Cristiano Ronaldo waved to the enthusiastic fans while walking towards the training base. The fans kept shouting his name, and the sound echoed over the base for a long time.

After entering the base, Cristiano Ronaldo was taken directly to the medical room and began to undergo various strict physical examinations. After all, for him who is about to put on Manchester United's jersey again to fight on the field, physical condition is one of the club's most concerned things. In the physical examination room, doctors meticulously carried out various examinations, from routine physical index tests to more detailed muscle, joint and other parts of the body. Cristiano Ronaldo cooperated very well. He knew the importance of these processes and hoped to contribute to Manchester United again in the best condition.

While the physical examination was going on, the club's meeting room was already full of people. Club chairman Rowley, old Sir Alex Ferguson, vice chairman Nicky Butt, sports director Solskjaer, head coach Mourinho, assistant coach Scholes, and many reporters from major media were all waiting for the historic signing moment after the physical examination. "Old Sir Alex" Ferguson sat there, his eyes full of satisfaction. The young man who had just started out has now grown into a top star in the world of football, and now he is going back to Manchester United. How can he not be full of emotion? After several hours of intense and orderly physical examinations, the results showed that Cristiano Ronaldo's physical condition was maintained quite well and he was fully qualified to compete in high-level competitions. Afterwards, Cristiano Ronaldo came to the meeting room. As soon as he entered the door, everyone's eyes were focused on him. Under everyone's gaze, Cristiano Ronaldo walked to the signing table, where the prepared contract was placed. This was not just a simple document, but also an agreement that carried Cristiano Ronaldo's new journey and new expectations with Manchester United.

Club chairman Rowley was the first to stand up and speak: "Cristiano, I'm glad you chose Manchester United again. We believe that your return will bring new vitality and glory to the team. I hope that in the days to come, we can continue to write the glory of Manchester United together." Cristiano Ronaldo nodded slightly and responded sincerely: "Mr. Chairman, I have a deep affection for Manchester United. This time I came back, I just want to do my best to help the team achieve better results. I also look forward to the days of working hard with everyone."

Then, under the witness of everyone, Cristiano Ronaldo tookHe picked up the pen and solemnly signed his name on the contract. At that moment, warm applause rang out in the conference room, and the flash lights kept flashing, recording this historic moment. "Old Sir" Sir Alex Ferguson stood up excitedly, walked to Cristiano Ronaldo, and gave him a big hug, just like when he saw his proud disciple achieve excellent results. This hug contained too many emotions, appreciation, relief, and expectations for the future.

After the signing ceremony, Cristiano Ronaldo did not stop at all, and then came to the specially prepared interview room to accept a joint interview with Manchester United TV and Manchester Evening News. Facing the camera, Cristiano Ronaldo's face was full of confidence and joy. He first reviewed his experience of leaving Manchester United to venture into other leagues, and lamented his growth and gains during that time.

"After leaving Manchester United, I went to different places and experienced many challenges, but Manchester United has always had a special place in my heart. This is where my football dream began. The memories here, the moments of fighting and celebrating victory with my teammates, have always inspired me to keep moving forward." Cristiano Ronaldo said affectionately.

Then, he talked about the reason for his return and his goals: "When I had the opportunity to return to Manchester United again, I didn't hesitate at all. I wanted to come back and continue to contribute my strength to this team. I hope to compete for more championship trophies with my current teammates and let Manchester United stand at the top of European and even world football again. This is my goal and my unshirkable responsibility." His words were firm and powerful. Through the spread of television and newspapers, countless Manchester United fans were excited. Everyone seemed to see the promising future of the team.

After the interview, it was the long-awaited unveiling ceremony of the No. 7 jersey. Under the leadership of head coach Mourinho, assistant coach Scholes and others, Cristiano Ronaldo walked towards the locker room step by step along the familiar passage with excitement and some trepidation.

The moment the door was opened, the unique smell of Manchester United's locker room hit me, mixed with a faint smell of detergent, leather and the special atmosphere of blood and passion that seemed to have been deposited for many years. Although the color of the wall has changed slightly from before, and some facilities have been renovated, the feeling engraved in the depths of memory still exists vividly. There are too many laughter, sweat and tears here, and every corner seems to be whispering stories of the past.

The crowd surrounded Cristiano Ronaldo and came to the No. 7 cabinet. I saw that the cabinet had been carefully decorated, and colorful ribbons were wrapped around the edge of the cabinet, tied into beautiful bows, as if opening its arms to welcome its owner back. There were bunches of delicate and beautiful flowers around, with red and white petals stretched out, exuding bursts of fragrance, as if adding a bit of romance and solemnity to this special moment. The small ornaments representing the glory of Manchester United are even more eye-catching. The mini models of the championship trophies are placed in an orderly manner. The glittering gold witnesses the glory of the team along the way and also symbolizes the supreme glory that the No. 7 jersey once carried.

Mourinho looked at Cristiano Ronaldo with a gentle and meaningful smile on his face and said, "Cristiano, this cabinet No. 7 has been waiting for you. It carries too many stories. From Best to Cantona, and then to you, everyone who wears the No. 7 jersey is a legend of Manchester United. It has witnessed countless Jedi counterattacks on the court and those wonderful moments that made the fans cheer until they were hoarse. Now, a new chapter will be opened. You are back, and it has a soul again."

Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were fixed on cabinet No. 7, his eyes were full of emotion, and his deep eyes seemed to flash the picture of himself wearing the No. 7 jersey for the first time when he was young and standing in this locker room. At that time, he was immature but full of drive, with infinite vision for the future. He reached out his hand and gently stroked the cabinet, his fingertips running over the wood grain, as if he was flipping through a memoir of his Manchester United years, or having a silent conversation with his past self. The bits and pieces of the past came to his mind, and the scenes of running on the field and celebrating goals with teammates were all played in his mind like a movie.

Then, under the expectant and excited gazes of everyone, Cristiano Ronaldo took a deep breath, slowly reached out his hand to hold the handle of the cabinet, and slowly opened the door. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.It was still, and then the brand new No. 7 Manchester United jersey appeared in front of everyone. The red background was bright and eye-catching, the white collar and cuffs were neat and tidy, and the team logo on the jersey shone brightly under the lights, as if it was endowed with a special magic, shining with the pride and glory of Manchester United.

The entire unveiling event was broadcast live on the Internet. All over the world, countless fans had been waiting in front of the screen early, staring at the screen intently. When the No. 7 jersey was unveiled, many fans were so excited that they burst into tears. Some of them covered their mouths tightly to prevent their sobs from coming out, while others waved their Manchester United scarves vigorously. On social media, messages continued to emerge like snowflakes, and everyone used words to express their irrepressible joy in their hearts. Words such as "Welcome the King Returns" and "The Legend of No. 7 Continues" filled the screen, and the entire online world was immersed in the carnival of this historic moment.

After changing into new training equipment, Cristiano Ronaldo followed Mourinho and Scholes to the training ground. At this time, Manchester United players had already lined up neatly at the training ground under the leadership of the two captains David De Gea and Harry Maguire. When Cristiano Ronaldo appeared, the players showed excitement and admiration. They knew that the man in front of them was a legend in the football world. It was an honor to be his teammate and fight side by side with him.

David De Gea stepped forward as a representative and said: "Cristiano, welcome home! We are all looking forward to playing with you. I believe that with your joining, we will become stronger." Cristiano Ronaldo smiled and shook hands and hugged each teammate, and responded: "I am very happy to be a teammate with you. I believe we can cooperate well and strive for more victories together." After a brief exchange, Cristiano Ronaldo stood in the queue and started regular training with everyone.

Cristiano Ronaldo's condition on the training ground is still excellent. His superb footwork, superb physical fitness and never-give-up fighting spirit are all fully demonstrated. Whether it was dribbling or shooting practice, he did it almost perfectly, which made his teammates around him admire him and learned a lot of valuable experience from him. In the group confrontation, Cristiano Ronaldo relied on his outstanding performance to lead his group to gain advantages. He actively communicated and cooperated with his teammates, making the entire training atmosphere tense and full of vitality.

During the training break, Cristiano Ronaldo walked up to Edinson Cavani with a sincere and grateful smile on his face. He first reached out and gently patted Edinson Cavani on the shoulder, then said sincerely: "Hi, Edinson, Solskjaer told me that I have to thank you very much for giving me the No. 7 jersey." Edinson Cavani raised his head and looked at the football legend in front of him with kindness and open-mindedness in his eyes. He waved his hand and responded: "Cristiano, it's nothing. The No. 7 jersey is the most suitable for you. It carries your story and the glorious history of Manchester United."

Cristiano Ronaldo lowered his head slightly, as if he was caught in a brief memory, and then raised his eyes again, full of emotion. "You know, the number 7 means a lot to me. During my time at Manchester United, it was like a symbol of mine, and it accompanied me on this green field to create so many unforgettable memories. I am really grateful for your kindness to wear it again this time." Edinson Cavani stood up and patted Cristiano Ronaldo on the back with a smile: "We are all for the team. Your return will definitely help the team a lot. As long as we work together, we can bring more victories and honors back to Manchester United. This is more important than anything else."

Listening to Edinson Cavani's open-minded words, Cristiano Ronaldo's gratitude became stronger. He opened his arms and took the initiative to give Edinson Cavani a warm hug. Edinson Cavani also hugged Cristiano Ronaldo tightly without hesitation. At the moment when the two hugged each other, it seemed that all the words turned into this silent but powerful hug. Seeing this scene, the teammates around also smiled knowingly.
