Juventus icon Cristiano Ronaldo has had close ties with the city of Manchester, having spent six successful years at Old Trafford before moving to Real Madrid. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, despite his on-field exploits, has also established several businesses under his name, with the Pestana CR7 particularly dealing with the hotel industry. He is set to strengthen his ties with the city, having received a clearance to set up a hotel in Manchester, even as reports of a return to Old Trafford have been doing the rounds ever since.
