Cristiano Ronaldo

On Friday, he took to Twitter to write: "No negotiations in progress, no swaps, Victor Osimhen is a Napoli player and wants to play the Champions League with ...

Osimhen would be a logical option to replace Ronaldo quickly if he leaves for Napoli. For now, though, it appears to be somewhat of a non-starter. And he is pushing for United to allow him to depart if a suitable offer arrives, whether Osimhen is involved in a deal or not. And Erik ten Hag is reportedly happy for him to walk out the exit door if he can make two attacking signings in the final five days of the summer transfer window. With United chasing Ajax's Antony, most recently seeing a £76m bid rejected, an £85m plus move for Osimhen wouldn't be financially viable. [Reports in Italy](/sport/football/1660572/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Jorge-Mendes-Victor-Osimhen-swap-deal-Cristiano-Ronaldo-Napoli) claim Napoli would be open to sending the 23-year-old to United, with Ronaldo coming the other way on loan, if they receive £85million or more.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers – and strikers – of all time. Having scored over 800 goals throughout his mammoth career and winning ...

We were all aware of Ronaldo’s abilities at this point, but nobody thought we’d see the tricky winger turn into a veteran penalty box killer like he has done. And we won the cup.” So to know that all of those qualities were once that Ronaldo did consciously go and learn is incredible. “He scored the winning goal. We saw ever so slight glimpses of it during his first spell at United, but it was while at Real Madrid where he began to transition properly. He is without doubt in the conversation.

Manchester United could allegedly sign Victor Osimhen this summer as part of a deal that would take Cristiano Ronaldo to Napoli.

I am very happy to play with Napoli and we will see in the future." [A recent report](/football/man-utd/transfer-talk/news/man-uniteds-cristiano-ronaldo-could-join-napoli_493130.html) claimed that Napoli had emerged as an option for the experienced striker, with Mendes discussing a possible deal with the Italian giants.

Sticking with Di Marzio, Manchester United and their pursuit of a new striker; they are apparently back in for ex-Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. They also want €100m (£84.9m) and for the Red Devils to cover the majority of Ronaldo’s wage. Napoli quickly emerged as a potential destination for Cristiano Ronaldo after he told Manchester United he wanted out in order to play in the Champions League. Ronaldo wants nothing to do with the Europa League; he is too big for that insignificant little tournament.

Cristiano Ronaldo may have been left out of the Manchester United starting XI for the second straight time on Saturday but he did not let his frustrations show. The Portuguese forward had apparently taken his water bottle and sprayed on Ferdinand’s shoes. In the match, Ronaldo, along with his former Real Madrid teammate Casemiro, came off the bench in the second half as United completed a smash and grab win against the Saints, courtesy of a Bruno Fernandes goal.

Rio Ferdinand says Cristiano Ronaldo will be "fuming" after being left on Manchester United's bench for match against Southampton.

The former England midfielder went on to say that United are "a real club", thus apparently explaining why the deal should go through. Football journalist Fabrizio Romano released an interview with Antony on Friday during which the Brazilian revealed that he had rejected a contract extension offered by Ajax. The ex-England defender believes that Ajax's refusal to make the deal will hurt them in the long term. The most recent reports linked Ronaldo to Marseille, Napoli and his first club Sporting.

CRISTIANO RONALDO's mood still appeared to be high despite being named on Manchester United's bench once again.

The jovial gesture caught the attention of the cameras before Ferdinand turned around to see Ronaldo celebrating his successful prank. Ronaldo was training just behind the quartet when he pulled a small prank on Ferdinand. Ronaldo didn't appear frustrated in the pre-match build-up against Liverpool as he went over to Gary Neville and Roy Keane before snubbing Jamie Carragher.

Following Manchester United's 1-0 victory today against Southampton, Erik ten Hag had to manoeuvre an uneasy question about Cristiano Ronaldo.

Erik ten Hag has made a tough judgement call regarding the world's most famous sportsperson on consecutive occasions. On the back of dropping Ronaldo from the starting lineup for a second game in a row, ten Hag was asked to answer a rather direct question. Two wins.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag left Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench for the second time in a row - but the Portuguese icon was able to raise a smile ...

Only he can answer that question, we have to play the waiting game now.” [Real Madrid](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/real-madrid-cf) star on the bench for all but one game this season. On Ronaldo’s response to being left out of the side again, Ferdinand mused: “He’ll be fuming, 100 per cent, we all worked with superstars. Ferdinand was a little unimpressed, but presenter Lynsey Hipgrave and co-pundits Scholes and Peter Crouch saw the funny side of it. Ronaldo has made it clear that he hopes to leave Old Trafford, less than a year after making a stunning return to the club. Those moves haven’t been forthcoming however and with just days of the window remaining, he looks set to suffer transfer frustration.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-huh honey lay off o’ them shoes. Then Ronaldo stuck the boot it. But of course, we lapped it up anyway.

Cristiano Ronaldo was a second-half substitute as Manchester United recorded their second Premier League victory of the season, beating Southampton 1-0 at ...

We will be alert until the last second of the window." “If a good player is available we will strike because we want to strengthen the squad. He was involved in the situations after half time and he played an important role in our attacks in the first 15 mins after half-time. The 37-year-old’s future has been the source of constant speculation ever since he made it clear that he wished to depart Old Trafford. That is still yet to transpire, with his list of potential suitors seemingly dwindling by the week. We stick to the plan.

The manager of a Serie A team says he 'would love' to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, while also giving his opinion on a potential £100million Man Utd swap deal.

He needs to work hard and get back into Erik ten Hag’s starting eleven so he can have a successful campaign. Clubs don’t want to pay so much money for an ageing striker who doesn’t work particularly hard when pressing. However, the Primeira Liga club would struggle to afford a transfer fee for Ronaldo or pay his huge wages. According to the Daily Mail, he takes home £385,000 a week at Old Trafford. However, most of Europe’s biggest teams have rejected the chance to sign him so far. It seems another door has shut on Ronaldo.

It's unlikely that Cristiano Ronaldo heard former teammate Rio Ferdinand's comments about his future, but he still decided to ruin his suede shoes.

Man City have been touted to make a shock transfer move late in the window, but Liverpool would back it. Cristiano Ronaldo and Philippe Coutinho explain ...

Ronaldo, for instance, could be a toxic influence, having made it clear through the press that he doubts the capacity of his team-mates to compete for trophies. In part, it’s to preserve a healthy atmosphere in the camp. Hopefully Manchester City are not so shrewd if Bernardo leaves, but it's a safe bet that they will be prepared for all eventualities. But last year, we saw Ferran Torres, one of the best attacking prospects in European football, granted a move to Barcelona just 18 months on from his £30m arrival. These cases stand in stark contrast to two more recent transfer sagas elsewhere. Earlier this summer, of course, they raised a few eyebrows by allowing Raheem Sterling to join Chelsea.

"I cannot say that [whether United will be active before the deadline]," Ten Hag explained. However, there has been no concrete approach, and United's 'not-for-sale' stance will only strengthen as the deadline looms larger. While hopes of a right-back and another central midfielder likely rely on player sales, with James Garner thought to be nearing an exit. After full-time, Ten Hag was asked whether Ronaldo would be at Old Trafford beyond the September 1 transfer deadline. The 37-year-old took to the pitch for Jadon Sancho after 68 minutes and looked lethargic and ineffective as United fought to hold onto their narrow lead.
