Manchester United boss Mourinho will go up against Ronaldo after Juventus were drawn against the Red Devils in the Champions League group stage
It will be just the second time the duo have locked horns since working together in 2013, with the first last year's UEFA Super Cup
Manchester United were linked with Ronaldo as his Real Madrid career wound down this summer, with Ed Woodward supposedly keen to bring him home
Ultimately, though, Juventus were able to secure the signature of the 33-year-old
And the Sun say Mourinho 'cannot stand' Ronaldo - which may explain why he did not secure an emotional return to Old Trafford
Together at Real, they helped the La Liga giants dethrone Barcelona as the division's leading force
But, ultimately, their relationship crumbled. Guillem Balague reveals the details of their rift in his 2015 biography of Ronaldo
The two supremos nearly came to blows with Ronaldo screaming: "After everything I've done for you, this is how you treat me? How dare you say that to me!" Mourinho did not help the situation when he suggested Ronaldo had an attitude problem
He said: "I had only one problem with him, very simple, very basic, which was when a coach criticises a player from a tactical viewpoint trying to improve what, in my view, could have been improved
"At that moment, he didn't take it very well because maybe he thinks he knows everything and the coach cannot help him develop further
" And the Sun say the encounter between United and Juventus will be fascinating due to their fractured relationship
Ronaldo has played against United three times since leaving Old Trafford nine years ago
In 2013, he scored in both legs as Real beat the Red Devils on away goals to reach the Champions League in the last-16
And he came off the bench as Madrid beat United 2-1 to win the UEFA Super Cup. Whether he can consign them to another European defeat, meanwhile, remains to be seen
