This season we are going to be a big force.[LNB]"Jose Mourinho is staying at Madrid so I stay.[LNB]"If he went to Chelsea then I would have left. I would have gone to Manchester City. But now he's staying, I'm staying."[LNB]While his immediate future remains in Madrid, Ronaldo has revealed that he does intend to take in a second spell in the Premier League.[LNB]Having enjoyed a successful six-year stint with Manchester United between 2003 and 2009, he admits he would welcome the opportunity to return at some stage in his career.[LNB]"I think if I went from Spain it would be to the Premier League - but not now," he said.[LNB]"First we have to win the Champions League.[LNB]"If I went back to the Premier League it would be with a club in the North West.
