Manchester United 'hoping to lure Cristiano Ronaldo with pay-rise promise'

Manchester United are allegedly willing to offer Cristiano Ronaldo an increase on his current Real Madrid wages if he rejoins the club.

The Red Devils are ready to better the Portugal international's £365,000-a-week earnings to lure him back to England, according to Don Balon.

Previous reports suggested that United could offer goalkeeper David De Gea to Real in a part-exchange deal for Ronaldo, who left Old Trafford for Spain in 2009.

Meanwhile, Los Blancos are said to be plotting a summer overhaul after struggling to compete with Barcelona in La Liga this term, with Neymar and Eden Hazard among the big names to be linked with the club.

Ronaldo has scored 34 times and provided seven assists in all competitions so far this season.
