Cristiano Ronaldo's much-talked-about move from Juventus to Manchester United has finally materialised as the clubs confirmed on Tuesday. And fans have gone absolutely gaga over this transfer and the excitement turned nostalgic when the Portuguese star also posted a special Instagram post. While much of the talk and discussion have been about Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford, there has also been an increasing number of reports on social media, talking about his alleged rape of American model Kathryn Mayorga in the past. Ronaldo was reported to have had sex with Mayorga despite her saying no repeatedly, and later, it was also alleged that she has asked for damage charges worth Rs 59 crores! But nothing has been proven so far. Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United 'Homecoming' Sparks Angry Reactions From Netizens Slamming Him Over Kathryn Mayorga's Alleged Rape Allegations!
As a matter of fact, with past rape allegations back in the news, fans have engaged in a debate on Twitter where they came up with mixed opinions on this incident. While some fans have questioned the credibility of the celebrations that are happening around Ronaldo's return with reference to the sexual allegations on him, there have been some others who have argued that the Portuguese star is yet to be proven guilty since none of the allegations has been proven.

Just wasted an hour of my life researching this. I am not a rape apologist but @derspiegel is the @DailyMailUK of Germany. "Person X" has never been proved in a court of law to be Ronaldo. https://t.co/C4QS4OM2bE

And this one:
Still, playing a player who’s got ongoing police investigation 18 times while they knew about it, i mean why was he played when there’s other players who would kill for a place in that team?!
