Cristiano Ronaldo: I never had any problem in England, so I'd like to return

​
The fact that he never experienced any tax issues in England could see Cristiano Ronaldo return to the UK, the player has admitted.

Speaking during his appearance in court last Monday, Ronaldo reportedly told the judge that he would consider going back to the country where he played between 2003 and 2009, before his transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid.

"I never had any problem in England, which is why I'd like to return," the player said in a loud voice, according to Cadena SER radio station.

The 32-year-old then went on to explain the perceived differences between the tax systems in the UK and in Spain.

"I remember when I arrived in England they told me that things work like this," he said.

"When I arrived in Manchester as an 18-year-old they told me that [the tax arrangements used] were the best mechanism I could have, just as for the other players.

"In Spain, the indication was to pay more to avoid having problems."

He continually stressed that he was innocent and that he doesn't look to avoid paying what he owes.

"Whenever I go to a place, I pay what I have to pay, because the truth always becomes known," he said.

During the testimony, Ronaldo denied that he previously knew the societies in which his image rights were managed were located offshore, but said that he is now aware of this.
 
Isco and Asensio on pole

​
Real Madrid's pre-season has left Zinedine Zidane worried but now he has other matters to attend to; both Isco and Marco Asensio deserve a starting spot in his first XI, but the French coach only has space for one of them.

Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema will play as it's a final, although neither have not been at a good level so far.

Isco has started well and faces the responsibility of channeling his offensive game with a very good physical aspect that will allow him to cover lots of ground beyond his normal starting position.

More meritorious, even, seems the role of Asensio.

He joined a week later in training after having played the U21 European Championship and his peak form is surprising.

It also happened last season, when he seemed fitter than a number of his teammates during the Super Cup final where he announced himself to the wider public, with Real's first goal of the campaign.

Asensio is a safe bet, a pure thoroughbred.

He is more and more confident playing at the front of the attack and is even to drop back in support of the midfielders and help create.

Manchester United will bring a very physical game on Tuesday and Jose Mourinho knows he should exploit this facet.

Zidane, therefore, needs his fittest men available.

I would like to see the boy at the Bernabéu, I don't trust any of that 3 up front there. I'm worried Perez isn't going to sign him this season.

I don't trust none of them either. I still think we'll bring in a striker, Mbappe or anybody else.

I wish we'd cash in on our diva or Bale, or both, and re-invest that money on young better talents.
