CRISTIANO RONALDO’s multi-million-pound private jet is stranded at Manchester Airport after the discovery of a technical issue.

The reason for its arrival in Manchester is currently unknown and still being debated by footie fans.
But the luxury aircraft won’t be going anywhere anytime soon as it was spotted with a crack in one of its windows.
Engineers discovered the matte black jet, which has an image of Ronaldo‘s siu celebration on it and his CR7 logo, had the issue while giving it a once over.
It won’t be permitted to leave the airport until the crack has been repaired.
It’s understood engineers are currently waiting for the replacement part to be shipped.
The stunning airliner was spotted next to the aircraft Manchester City took to Madrid for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 qualifier against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Ronaldo, 40, reportedly splashed the cash on his luxury airliner last year.
It’s not known if Ronaldo was on board the plane when it arrived in Manchester, where he spent several trophy-laden years across two stints with Manchester United.
Inside Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible life
AS arguably the greatest player of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo lives a life befitting such a superstar.

Before meeting Georgina, Ronaldo dated some of the world’s hottest women including Kim Kardashian and Irina Shayk.
Now it’s all about the family, with Ronaldo’s offspring now capable of making up a five-a-side team.
Ronaldo’s very well paid on the pitch, but he makes a ton of money off it too with endorsement deals ranging from KFC to his own range of underpants.
He’s also a prolific investor and owns a string of hotels.
He’s currently building a holiday resort in the Red Sea which has been dubbed “a new paradise”.
