Manchester United were swift and efficient with their transfer business this summer.
A deal for Tom Heaton was concluded with ease, with the veteran arriving to challenge David De Gea and Dean Henderson for a starting berth.
United then snapped up Jadon Sancho, who arrived from Borussia Dortmund four years after Jose Mourinho had first tried to secure his signature.
Raphael Varane was next, touching down from Real Madrid.
And United then confirmed the stunning return of Ronaldo on deadline day, with the veteran moving from Juventus 12 years after he’d initially left the club behind.

Ronaldo is thrilled to be back at the club, however, admitting he was excited about playing in front of their supporters again.
“Well, the fans is the key of football,” he said.
“Now, with all the stadiums full of supporters, it’s not the same that we had one year ago, those empty stadiums.
“The fans, they are the key, and I’m so glad. The Manchester United fans, they are special, I know, I remember very well.
“I know they still sing my music which has made me feel even more happy and my commitment is to give everything on the pitch, like I did before, like I do it all the time, and try to do my best, help the team score goals, make assists, win games, and I hope to see them very, very soon.”
On talks with Solskjaer, he added: “Well, we had a chat, but of course I’m going to have time to speak with him face to face, to know what he expects.
“As you know, I played with him for two or three years at Manchester United so I have a good relationship with him but now with a different role, I’m a player and he’s a coach.
“But it doesn’t matter, my relationship with him is great and as I say before, I’m there in Manchester to help the team achieve his results and the coach can count on me for whatever he wants.
“So I’m available for everything.”
