Following his sensational return to Premier League side Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has hired 24-hour security that will be protecting him, his family and their mansion.

The Portugal international is said to have been warned that there are many criminal gangs now around the city and the best way is for him to make provisions for bodyguards and security.

According to the report on UK Mirror and Daily Star, the former Real Madrid and Juventus star agreed to hire some locally based bodyguards with the responsibility of them protecting his house from hoodlums.

There is no doubt about the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the richest players in the world and his profile and wealth could attract criminal gangs.

A source explained below according to the report:

"Cristiano has been warned that since he left Manchester in 2009, the region has become an absolute magnet for criminal gangs. Now he will be seen as their number one target.
"Cristiano has no intention of taking any risks so a team is already in place to make sure that as soon as he and his family arrive in Manchester they will be protected."

Meanwhile, Manchester United will be facing Newcastle United in their next Premier League game as Solskjaer and his wards will hope to continue with their fine run.

Cristiano Ronaldo's 2nd debut for Man United set to be delayed

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how fans of Manchester United and followers of the prestigious Premier League may have to wait till next week Tuesday to see Cristiano Ronaldo making his second debut for the Red Devils.

After spending three years in Turin with Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo decided this summer to walk away even though he failed to win the Champions League title with the Old Lady.

There were initial reports of him going to Manchester City, but the Portuguese changed his mind at the death and made a return to where he made his name in football.

United fans have all been looking forward to seeing Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch with the club's next game against Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday, September 11.
