Cristiano Ronaldo's $76M jet held in Manchester due to window problem

The Bombardier Global Express 6500, bearing the CR7 logo and a silhouette of Ronaldo’s iconic celebration, was kept on the ground as of Tuesday afternoon.

According to The Sun, engineers discovered a crack in one of the jet’s windows. Repairs are pending the delivery of a replacement window, keeping the aircraft temporarily out of operation.

It is unclear whether Ronaldo himself was on board when the jet landed in Manchester last Friday. The Al-Nassr captain played in a 3-2 win over Al-Ahli on Thursday before being substituted late in the match.

Ronaldo also missed Al-Nassr's AFC Champions League match on Monday, with the 40-year-old rested for the tie against Persepolis in Iran, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

The jet's presence at Manchester Airport sparked speculation among Man United fans, some of whom expressed hope for Ronaldo's return to the club for a third stint. However, there is no indication that the Portuguese superstar plans to make another comeback as he just signed a new contract with Al Nassr earlier this year.
