Manchester United have been linked with a shock move to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 35-year-old made his name at Old Trafford, winning three Premier League titles and the Champions League before joining Real Madrid for a then world record £80million fee in 2009.
After starring for Los Blancos for nine years, he signed for Juventus in a £99.2m deal and has scored a remarkable 58 goals in 69 Serie A appearances.
But a 2021 exit has been touted and FOX America journalist Christian Martin claims Ronaldo is ‘considering’ a return to United.
He tweeted: “Our sources in Manchester and Porto confirm that Manchester United tempted Cristiano Ronaldo with a return to the club for next season.
“The Portuguese star is considering it.
“Juventus will negotiate a deal it if Ronaldo asks for it.”
Ronaldo, who has won two Serie A titles in Italy, has two years left on his Juventus deal.
But the Italian giants are believed to be keen on offloading his £540,000-a-week wages next summer after being affected financially by the coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier this month, Ronaldo was accused of being ‘disrespectful’ for not speaking Italian.
Pasquale Bruno, who played for Juve between 1987 and 1990, said: “He is ignorant.
“He has been in Italy for two years and has not yet learned to speak our language.
“He uses Spanish to express himself. He has no respect for his teammates or for the Italians.”
