Translated from a Norwegian newspaper:
"Ronny Johnsen is back in Manchester United, and will train with the club during the pre-season. 'There is no better club to be with,' says Johnsen.
It was Sir Alex Ferguson who called Ronny Johnsen (33) and asked him to turn up for the Manchester United training. He could now continue his career at Old Trafford
'When Ferguson called and said I could train with them, I thanked him and said yes. I need to keep fit,' Johnsen tells Dagbladet.
Manchester United offered him an one-year contract after last season, but the 33-year old wanted a longer contract and declined it. As United has got him back to Manchester, it could mean they will offer him a longer contract.
'To be honest, there's probably no better club to play at. Manchester United is a fantastic club, and I know everything and everyone there,' the International defender admits - but he doesn't take anything for granted.
The Norwegian's agent, Rune Hauge, doesn't want to speculate in where Johnsen will end up.
'At the moment things are unclear, and nothing has been decided. But who knows, it could be Ronny and Rio. Or just Rio,' Hauge tells the newspaper.
Johnsen has been linked with both Aston Villa and Bolton the last few days, but he declined the offer from Bolton, and the Villa manager Graham Taylor denied his club's interest in Johnsen. Hauge, though, insists he has been talking with the club."
