Cristiano Ronaldo was once a dream signing for Manchester United chief Ed Woodward but the Red Devils hierarchy have switched their focus to other targets as they look to build a competitive team under Ole Gunnar Solskjar and won’t be looking to make a move for the Portuguese star if he becomes available in the summer.

The Portuguese star is the highest-paid player at Juventus and his contract comes to an end in 2022. It is understood that the club will hold a meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo to decide his future at the club, however, there are rumours that the 36-year-old won’t be continuing in Turing beyond the current season.

Juventus are looking to rebuild their team after a disappointing season and are considering selling Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer to lower their wage bill. The 36-year-old becomes a free agent in 2022 and the Italian giants could let him go to get some return on their initial investment.
