The return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United grabbed the headlines this summer after the Portuguese superstar returned to Old Trafford after 12 years away.

The 36-year-old completed a sensational transfer back to United from Italian giants Juventus at the back end of the summer transfer window.

Ronaldo was predictably prolific in terms of his goals across his three full campaigns at the Bianconeri, where he netted a remarkable 101 goals in just 134 first-team appearances.

The record-breaking forward also enjoyed plenty of team success during his three years in Turin, winning five trophies in that timeframe including two Serie A titles and last seasons Coppa Italia.

Ronaldos final season in Italy was somewhat less successful, with the club losing their nine-year grip on the league title and only scrapping into fourth place on the final day of the campaign.

It was a hugely dramatic campaign under their novice coach Andrea Pirlo, who had replaced Maurizio Sarri in the close-season but was subsequently relieved of his duties after the campaign.

This tumultuous campaign will now be documented in the new All or Nothing Amazon Prime Video series, which will be available to view later this month.

The documentary goes behind-the-scenes at the Bianconeri and includes multiple interviews with the first-team squad players at Juve, including Ronaldo.

The Portugal superstar spoke of there being only one rule at the club, whereby there was a notably determination and drive to achieve their goals.

Ronaldo explained on the documentary: The only rule here (at Juventus) is to play well and win, nothing else matters.

Ronaldos goalscoring rate improved throughout his time at the Old Lady, netting 28 goals in 43 appearances in his first campaign before bagging 37 goals in the 2019-20 campaign and 36 times last season, but in fewer appearances.

Yet the five-time Ballon dOr winner was keen to stress that despite all of his individual brilliance, teams will only win when they play as a unit.

Ronaldo spoke of the need to play collectively and there was not any one player who can decide games without being cohesive with the rest of the team.

This is a collective game, the forward explained.

Nobody in the world, alone, can make a collective difference.

All or Nothing: Juventus will be released on Thursday 25th November 2021 on Amazon Prime Video with plenty already having changed at the club since the conclusion of the filming.

Ronaldo and Pirlo are among the central figures who will have departed since the show, along with the veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon who has returned to Parma.

Ronaldo has scored nine goals for United in 12 appearances this campaign since returning to the club.
