With the Italian giants sitting in third and already out of the Champions League, it's been a difficult season for Ronaldo and Juventus. Criticised by Fabio Capello as Andrea Pirlo's team crashed out of Europe, he has been linked with a return to Real Madrid.

However, at 36, talkSPORT's Drive co-host Goldstein believes Ronaldo will be a valuable addition to the Red Devils and can still make an impact for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The die-hard United fan answered the question on the radio station's show about whether the Biaconeri forward would be a good signing this summer.

“My view is: Yes. They can get him for an absolute bargain. I know they’ve got to pay wages but it will probably only cost him £20-£25m. Does he improve that side? Yes, he does,' Goldstein said.

“What experience does he give someone like Dan James? It’s worth his weight in gold. He can sell shirts.

“It will be unbelievable for Ronaldo to finish his career at United. He won’t be starting every week, he’d only play the big games.

“You can play him anywhere across the front three and imagine Bruno supplying the bullets to him.”

A number of fans responded to talkSPORT's tweet and voiced their opinions on the matter.

A couple of users highlighted the fact that this potential signing may be to do with his reputation rather than his current ability.

'Sad really just another typical Utd showbiz signing nothing to do with football and the fact he’s a nearly 40-year-old has been whose admittedly fabulous playing days are now well behind him. They do love an old man at Utd,' one account said.

United are no stranger to bringing in ageing greats, as they signed a then 33-year-old Edinson Cavani on a short-term deal this year. Indeed, the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Henrik Larsson have all moved to Old Trafford at advanced ages too.

On the other hand, a few supporters took advantage of talkSPORT's wording of their tweet and made a dig at the Old Trafford club. A number of supporters labeled United as 'desperate' for wanting to bring in the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, with one fan also claiming 'he's finished'.

GIVEMESPORT's Tom Kelly says...

From a sole marketing and business perspective, it would make financial sense to bring Ronaldo back to Manchester. As Goldstein mentions, the club would make a fortune in shirt sales and this would also further create a number of commercial opportunities for the club.

It's an extremely similar situation to the signing of Ibrahimovic. The Red Devils secured the Swede's services on a free transfer but ultimately managed to make £76m in shirt sales alone.

However, from a football point of view, you do wonder how much of an impact Ronaldo will make at Old Trafford. At his age, he is surely not a long-term project and his sizeable wages would mean he would have to play as regularly as he did in his first stint at the club to get any kind of value, potentially holding back the likes of Mason Greenwood.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are two of the greatest players in history.

Over the past 15 years or so, the duo have dominated football, scoring goals and winning trophies for fun.

Both players have a plethora of incredible records next to their names, with Ronaldo recently adding the prestigious honour of becoming the sport's leading goalscorer to his collection.

It really is an incredible achievement by a man who will do whatever it takes to put the ball into the back of the net.

His obsession with doing just that is why many believe that he is a superior goalscorer to Messi.

The Barcelona legend is viewed by most as the better creator and team player of the two, but when it comes to goalscoring, Ronaldo is usually the winner in the eyes of the public.

But should that be the case? Well, according to one devoted Messi fan on Twitter, it certainly should not be.

@TotalLeoMessi has created a very detailed thread explaining why Ronaldo being a better goalscorer than Messi is a 'myth'.

Messi vs Ronaldo

The numbers are certainly in Messi's favour.

In certain areas, Ronaldo has scored more goals, but much of that is down to the fact that he is over two years older and therefore played more games in his career.

When it comes to goals-per-game in various different departments, Barcelona's little magician reigns supreme.

If the Argentine maintains his current overall goals-per-game ratio of 0.81 for the foreseeable future, Messi will surpass Ronaldo as the sport's leading scorer.

However, that's certainly not a given and Ronaldo's goalscoring days are far from behind him, with the 36-year-old Juventus star still in impeccable physical condition.

But at the end of the day, it's usually best to not get too involved in the never-ending Messi versus Ronaldo debate.

While it's nice to compare their numbers on occasion, it's much easier simply appreciating and enjoying both in equal measure.
