A PREMIER League powerhouse is opening its doors to Cristiano Ronaldo in hopes of a long-awaited return to England.

Meanwhile, Manchester City is keeping a close eye on an unsettled Chelsea superstar.

That and more in another edition of Rumour Mill!

RONALDO RETURN WELCOMED BY UNITED

According to The Sun, Jose Mourinho has sensationally opened the door for Cristiano Ronaldo to return to Manchester United.

The Real Madrid forward has repeatedly been linked with a move back to Old Trafford, with the Red Devils boss revealing he could not reject the chance to sign him.

Ronaldo is a folk legend in Manchester, netting 118 goals in his six year stay at the Theatre of Dreams.

Mourinho and Ronaldo have worked closely together before, winning a La Liga title together with Real Madrid during the 2011/12 season, so a move back to United could seem more appealing than ever right now.

CITY TO MAKE SENSATIONAL SWOOP ON UNHAPPY HAZARD

The unsettled forward has already made his feelings clear at Chelsea: spend big or he’s out.

The Sun reports that big spenders from the north, Manchester City, are monitoring Hazard’s situation down in West London.

The Premier League champions have been long-term admirers of his, and would not hesitate to make a £100m-plus bid to secure his signature ahead of Real Madrid.

The Belgians £300,000-a-week wage demands could certainly be met by the Cityzens.

ARTETA AGREES TO BECOME NEW ARSENAL MANAGER

The former Gunners midfielder’s return to the club is set to be announced in the coming days as he prepares to replace Arsene Wenger, reports Goal.com.
While no official contract has been signed, the Spaniard has been given the green light by Pep Guardiola to commence proceedings with Arsenal and has agreed in principle to replace Arsene Wenger.

The Express reports that fellow Spaniard Xabi Alonso could join Arteta at Arsenal as part of the backroom staff, as he aims to earn his stripes in coaching.

MOURINHO LOOKING TO REUNITE WITH WILLIAN IN BLOCKBUSTER DEAL

Manchester United are set to hold talks with Willian, which could see the Brazilian leave Chelsea.

Mourinho wants to reunite with the winger he originally brought to Stamford Bridge in 2013, and will have to do a lot to convince the West London outfit to cash in on one of their star players.

The Manchester Evening News claims the Brazilian’s agent has held preliminary discussions with the Red Devils this month over the possibility of securing a deal this summer.

Clearly attempting to bolster his attack at United, Mourinho and Willian have supposedly remained in touch since the Special One’s departure from Stamford Bridge two-and-a-half years ago.

INIESTA LINKED WITH PLAYER-COACH ROLE AT CITY

Former Barcelona star Andres Iniesta is Pep Guardiola’s preferred choice as player-coach at Manchester City should current assistant coach Arteta leave to return to the Gunners.

Yahoo Sport reports that Iniesta is considering linking up with his former Nou Camp teammate and manager Guardiola with the Premier League champions, with club officials apparently already in talks with the Spaniard.

Originally touted to accept big money offers from Chinese, American and Australian clubs, the chance of a coaching role at one of the world’s most-high profile clubs has clearly turned the World Cup winners head.
