Cristiano Ronaldo finalised a sensational return to Manchester United from Juventus on deadline day.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel should not be too worried about Manchester United bringing Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford this summer. The mercurial 36-year-old rejoined the Red Devils on a two-year contract on deadline day and looks set to lead the line for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this season.
Ronaldo established himself as a club legend during his first stint at Old Trafford and will be expected to provide the goals for United once again upon returning.
The 20-time Premier League champions will be buoyed by the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's presence in the dressing room as they go in search of a renewed title challenge over the coming months.
United will be up against the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea for this season's domestic crown in another closely-fought battle for glory.
However, the Blues are the only team to have joined the Red Devils in bringing back one of their former players to address some unfinished business.
Romelu Lukaku sealed a remarkable return to Chelsea last month in a club-record deal worth £97.5million, with the Belgian set to serve as the final piece in the jigsaw for the Blues.

Chelsea desperately lacked an out-and-out marksman last season, with Kai Havertz often being forced to adapt to a striking role towards the back end of the campaign.
Timo Werner struggled to hit the ground running after his move from RB Leipzig last summer, while Tammy Abraham was frozen out by Tuchel despite finishing the season as Chelsea's joint-top scorer in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Lukaku emerged as one of the planet's most feared attackers under Antonio Conte's guidance at Inter, finding the net on 30 occasions as the Nerazzurri stormed to the Serie A title at a canter.
The addition of Lukaku has seen the Blues bag themselves a proven world-class goalscorer, and the qualities he will bring to the team will be similar to those provided by Ronaldo at United.
