Some of the biggest names in football turned out for Cristiano Ronaldo’s West End premiere, who refused to rule out a move back to the Premier League.

The Real Madrid star was in London to promote the release of his new film 'Ronaldo' - a documentary filmed in 2014 tracking the 30-year-old on and off the pitch.

Speaking at the premiere of his film, Ronaldo refused to rule out a return to the Premier League

Among the stars were his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.

Ronaldo swapped Manchester United for Real Madrid in a £80mn deal more than five years ago, but the bond between Ronaldo and Ferguson remains strong.

At the unveiling of his documentary, Ronaldo spoke passionately about his six-year spell at Manchester United, calling Ferguson "my friend, my family, with me for the rest of my life".

Ronaldo has been continuously linked with a move back to Old Trafford and although he said his immediate future lies with Real Madrid, he refused to rule out a move back to the Premier League.

When asked about whether he'll ever return to the Premier League, Ronaldo told Sky Sports News HQ: "Why not? I'm in La Liga now but as I've said a hundred times, the future nobody knows."

"You know he loves Manchester United and Real Madrid. At the moment he's playing for Real Madrid and he'll finish his career at Real Madrid."
