CRISTIANO RONALDO will be allowed to leave Real Madrid for Manchester United this summer, according to a big report from Spain.
Ronaldo’s Real Madrid future is up in the air with Manchester United eyeing a sensational return for their No 7.
The 33-year-old has taken the World Cup by storm with Portugal, scoring four goals from his first three outings.
Despite his advancing years, Cristiano Ronaldo remains Real Madrid’s talisman having propelled them to Champions League glory three years on the spin.
Reports have claimed Manchester United are above PSG in the race for his signature with Jose Mourinho keen to add some stardust to his side.
And Spanish website El Gol Digital claim Real boss Julen Lopetegui has decided to let Ronaldo go.
It is said the Portugal international has lost the support of certain members in the dressing room.
Those comments reportedly irked Sergio Ramos and the report suggests that Gareth Bale and Isco also feel that Ronaldo must now stick to his guns and depart.
El Gol Digital fail to mention United’s interest.
But Express Sport understands that he has always been on the radar of United CEO Ed Woodward.
Piecing the puzzle together, it means that, if Ronaldo becomes available, the Red Devils can be expected to pursue his signature.
But Ronaldo has dropped numerous hints via various parties that a United return is his priority.
The player has always ensured he maintain a close rapport with Red Devils fans.
And, speaking recently, his mother dropped a hint by saying “I like Paris. I come every now and again.
“The last time was when my son received the Ballon d’Or.
“It was a great honour. When I arrived I was treated well by everyone.
“Convince Cristiano to sign for PSG? To be honest, it wouldn’t annoy me [if he did].
“But I would prefer him to return to Manchester United.”
