Why was Cristiano Ronaldo’s jet in Manchester?
The sighting of Ronaldo’s jet in Manchester has led to various theories among fans. However, it remains unclear whether the Al-Nassr forward was actually on board. Given that Ronaldo played a full match for the Saudi Pro League side against Al-Ahli on Thursday—scoring in a 3-2 win—it seems unlikely that he traveled immediately after. Additionally, Al-Nassr is scheduled to face Persepolis FC in Iran on Monday in their final AFC Champions League group-stage match, making his visit to Manchester even more uncertain.
