JAKARTA - The return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United is not only big news in the world of football, but also international big news and was even rumored to have provoked a special request from Queen Elizabeth.

Unconfirmed reports on social media have sparked a frenzy of rumors, suggesting that the Queen of England sent a message to the Portuguese footballer asking for his new jersey.

More specifically, the story goes that the Queen is looking for 80 Manchester United jerseys that read 'RONALDO 7' to share among her staff. Apart from that, he is also eyeing Ronaldo's first match jersey, signed, once he made his second United debut.

If this outlandish claim were true, it would make Cristiano Ronaldo the only person on the planet the Queen has ever asked for an autograph.

The report seems unfounded, but strange things have happened. The Queen is not an outspoken football fan, but is an ambassador for the sport and has expressed support for West Ham and Arsenal in the past.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a global superstar and his return to England is well looked after by politicians and royalty. That doesn't mean the rumors are true, but the fact that they're gaining traction may tell its own story.
