News of Cristiano Ronaldo's shock return to Manchester United broke fast, barely hours after news filtered out that he had ended talks with Manchester United.
But one man knew all along that the five-times Ballon d'Or winner was heading to the red side of Manchester - Ronaldo's old United team-mate Patrice Evra.
The former defender posted a screenshot of a Whatsapp chat with Ronaldo earlier on Friday, in which Ronaldo informed him 'I'm gonna play in your club'.
Evra and Ronaldo played together at United for four glorious seasons, from when the Frenchman joined the club in January 2006 until Ronaldo left for Real Madrid in 2009.
The pair won three consecutive Premier League titles together as well as the 2008 Champions League, also reaching the 2009 final which United lost to Barcelona.
Evra could hardly contain his excitement about Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford, calling the move from Juventus the 'biggest transfer in football'.

Ronaldo makes his decisions on where and when he needs to close/open a new chapter in his career unlike Messi who didn't even realized he's leaving until he was thrown, disowned, dismissed, chickened out of Barcelona

🗣"After the game, I moaned to Evra that he didn't jump with Cristiano. Then I saw the replay. I thought ,'What was I talking about?' I felt a little stupid because in the replay, Cristiano's knee is as high as Patrice's head - phenomenal.” 💥
