CRISTIANO RONALDO’S mother has flown to Manchester to link up with her son – but might not watch his sensational return to Old Trafford.
Ronaldo returned to Manchester United during the dying stages of the summer transfer window following a £12.85million deal with Juventus.
And his mum Dolores Aveiro has posted a photo of herself flying in a private jet towards the UK where she will meet the five-time Ballon d’Or winner and his family.
Dolores shared the pic on Instagram with the following caption: “On the way to Manchester, kisses everyone!!!!”
She is expected to see Ronaldo’s swanky multi- million pound mansion, which boasts seven bedrooms, ahead of his second United debut against Newcastle on Saturday at Old Trafford.
This comes after the star forward admitted that his mum is banned from attending his big matches.
That is because she gets so anxious that she has fainted twice from inside the stadium, with one of her falls breaking her teeth.
Ronaldo told Piers Morgan: “She’s not allowed now to watch big games.

“I say, ‘Listen, I don’t have a father any more. I don’t want to lose my mum, too, so you’re not going to watch quarter-finals, semi-finals, or finals’.”
The Real Madrid legend told Morgan in an earlier interview: “She gets so nervous, I don’t understand why. She is not allowed now to watch big games.
“I get friends to stay with her and she goes for walks around the house.
“She fainted two times in the stadium. She is nervous.”
