Quote:Cristiano Ronaldo is interested in the possibility of returning to Manchester United this summer, Sky sources understand.
The Real Madrid forward wants to leave Spain and a source close to the player says United are very close to his heart.
Manchester United sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid in the summer of 2009 for £80m and they have tried to set up a deal for his return on at least one occasion since his departure.
At the moment, United are wary of being drawn into a transfer saga surrounding Ronaldo's future and the general feeling at Old Trafford is that he will stay in Madrid.
Ronaldo's advisers, though, have been told to find him a new club outside Spain because he is angry after being accused of evading tax of 14.7m euros (£13m) between 2011 and 2014.
There are very few clubs who would be able to afford Ronaldo's transfer fee and his wages.

I would love him back for a couple of seasons. Ronaldo or Bale?
Ronaldo, 32, has told his agent Jorge Mendes to seal a dream return to Manchester United, according to The Sun. However, United manager Jose Mourinho does not want his compatriot as he feels he is a player in decline. This was in the Daily Star. Real boss Zinedine Zidane has called Ronaldo to try to convince him to stay with the Spanish champions.
if the transfer goes through. then United will offer £183m plus their 26-year-old goalkeeper David de Gea in exchange for Ronaldo and Spain striker Alvaro Morata, so says the Daily Mail, but the Mirror says that United will offer Spain international De Gea and £175m for Ronaldo and pursue Morata, 24, in a separate deal. Of course, if De Gea goes to Madrid, then United could move for AC Milan's 18-year-old Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as a replacement, according to Metro!
Wow! Are you up to speed now?
