Pay £10 and get Ronaldo
A small band of Australian-based United supporters have created a website where fans can help raise funds to bring back their old favourite, who has a £100million buyout clause, from Real Madrid.
The 'BringRonaldoHome' movement has already received thousands of pledges to buy a United shirt with Ronaldo on it - however it needs 10 million to donate a tenner for this target to be reached.
But as United have a reported 659m fans across the globe, it could be feasible.
Launched three days ago, the viral campaign video has been flooding Twitter and Facebook feeds of football fans around the globe.
A spokesperson for www.BringRonaldoBack.org said: 'We have been inspired by the loyalty and dedication of United fans.
'To be a "true" fan requires the "living" experience of football. It is not about being a mere spectator, it is about being a participant. We wanted to give fans an opportunity to be involved.
