Ronaldo was a free agent for just over a month after being released by United during the Qatar World Cup.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner established himself as a club legend during his first spell at Old Trafford but his second spell turned ugly.

Ronaldo then criticised Manchester United boss Ten Hag and the club’s owners in a controversial interview with Piers Morgan, before both parties agreed to cut ties in November.
It quickly became apparent that Saudi Arabian outfit Al Nassr were the favourites to sign Ronaldo, who unsuccessfully tried to leave United last summer after they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
Al Nassr confirmed their deal for Ronaldo on Friday evening, writing in a statement: ‘This is more than history in the making.
