Cristiano Ronaldo may leave Manchester to play in Spain. The adjustment to his new team shouldn't be that hard having already shared a dressing room with Pepe, Van Nistelrooy and Heinze.

Van Nistelrooy:
"Good players are always welcome. Cristiano is fantastic."

"He is very young, but he has a lot of experience after playing in the World Cup, Euro, Champions League and English competitions. He is strong both physically and technically. He's got it all."

Heinze:
"We are very good friends. We connected well when we both played at Manchester."

"He is very intelligent and an outstanding football player."

Pepe:
"I think having Cristiano on your side is always the best option. He likes Real Madrid and has always dreamed about playing here, and he likes the city."

"Cristiano is a first-class player. He is the whole package and solid at set-pieces. He can determine the outcome of a match in a matter of seconds."
