The Manchester United and Real Madrid legend became football’s first billionaire player earlier this month as his wealth continues to grow in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier this year, Ronaldo committed his future to Al-Nassr in an eye-watering deal that ensured he remains the highest paid player in the world by some distance. It was reported in Marca earlier this year that Ronaldo's deal will equate to €15m per month.
His deal also includes a minority stake in Al-Nassr, and he also has an input into which players they sign. Speaking to 10bet Casino, Brown believes this power and influence could translate to United in what would be a welcome return.
“You never know what Cristiano Ronaldo wants to do, but you can’t doubt him after everything he’s achieved.
“I think first of all, it depends how he’s doing in Saudi Arabia, because it’s not clear he’ll be stopping any time soon - he’s still banging them in for Al Nassr.
“But he could definitely move into the boardroom, he’s got the ability to swerve away from coaching and into the executive level, 100 per cent. Why not? If he’s enjoying it, it’ll be perfect for him.”
Ronaldo’s target is to score 1,000 professional goals is no secret however and that combined with how much he is earning with Al-Nassr means a return to cash strapped United is unlikely to happen anytime.
