Manchester United 'make formal offer for Cristiano Ronaldo'

Manchester United reportedly up their interest in re-signing Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

Despite having more than 18 months remaining on his contract at the Serie A champions, speculation persists regarding an exit for the Portuguese superstar in 2021.

United have been heavily linked with an approach for the 35-year-old, who initially departed Old Trafford for Real Madrid in 2009.

According to Record, the Premier League giants have indicated to agent Jorge Mendes that they would be willing to negotiate a deal.

The report suggests that Ronaldo remains focused on life at Juventus during a time when the Italian outfit find themselves four points adrift of leaders AC Milan.

Much could depend on whether United are able to part ways with Paul Pogba or decide to end their interest in Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.
