Manchester United new signing Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed the role his ex-teammates played in him joining the club.
Ronaldo was a United player from 2003 to 2009, before leaving for Real Madrid.
He has since spent 12 years at Real and then Juventus, but is now back in the red of United.
Ronaldo is in line to start for the Red Devils against Newcastle United on Saturday.
"It made the decision very easy for me," Ronaldo told United's club website.
"I have played with Ole, Fletch [Darren Fletcher] and Michael Carrick, they know me. They know who I am and how I play.
"So it is great to be part of this era of Manchester United right now with the new players and new generation. People I see, things have changed but the mentality has never changed, it is always to win and I am here to help the club make history again and put Manchester United where they deserve to be.
"When I came here at 18, I learnt so much with you and with all the guys. I am here again to make history and give my best and try to win important things - this is why I am here."
